Sheffield Wednesday shine in their first game back from the international break after they beat Nottingham Forest 3-1

Wednesday had a bundle of chances in the opening minutes as Hunt ran down the wing and produced a low cross to Gary Hooper but he got too much on it and hit it into the side netting.

Shortly after, Wallace delivered a pin point cross to Steven Fletcher who saw his volley saved by the Forest keeper.

The team in blue took the lead when Smith’s failed cross fell to the feet of Bannan who slotted the ball through to Hooper who rolled the defender and finished perfectly past the keeper.

Forest were level on the stroke of halftime when Ben Osborn skipped over the challenge of van Aken to fire the ball past a stranded Keiren Westwood.

Forest almost went ahead as Bereton saw his curling effort headed off the line by Tom Lees after the young lad had beaten goalkeeper Westwood.

Wednesday took the lead for the second time in the game when Kieran Lee’s corner was met by the head of Steven Fletcher whose bullet header beat the keeper.

The points were in the bag seven minutes later as Darikwa cleared Hunts cross into the body of Worrall and the ball trickled to Lee who finished from 8 yards out.

A solid performance from the Owls and the perfect reaction after recent poor displays.
