Watch as Darren Moore and Barry Bannan deliver speeches in Sheffield Wednesday dressing room after heroics against Peterborough United

Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore delivered an impassioned speech to his players after their heroics against Peterborough United.

The Owls fought back to cancel out a four-goal deficit, eventually taking the game to penalties and holding their nerve to book a place in the League One play-off final.

Moore was caught on camera giving a heartwarming speech to his players after the game, before captain Barry Bannan stepped in to pay tribute to the manager on behalf of the squad. Starting his speech, Moore said: “I’m absolutely just so proud of every single one of you. We had a bit of adversity in the first game and we knew we didn’t perform. But listen lads, it just goes to show you what preparation does.”
