Sheffield Wednesday vs Ipswich Town

Kayden Jackson's sixth-minute goal has given Town a 1-0 half-time lead over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

The striker latched on to the ball and confidently slammed it into the corner of the net to Stockdale’s left, the one-time Barnsley man’s second goal of the season. The Owls were seeing most of the ball with Town not looking entirely comfortable at the back. The striker crossed through Iorfa’s legs to skipper Sam Morsy, whose shot was blocked. Another one-time Town loanee, Mark McGuinness was absent from the squad. Harness and Ladapo were on the bench. But within a minute Town were in front.

Kayden Jackson gave the Blues a fourth minute lead and then Dominic Iorfa put past his own keeper in the 71st minute. But George Byers soon pulled one back and ...

There was late heartbreak for Ipswich Town at Hillsborough, as the Blues let a two-goal lead slip before eventually drawing 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday.

Wednesday’s first change saw Lee Gregory brought on for Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, as the hosts went to two up top, but it was the visiting side who were next to threaten as a clever touch from John-Jules freed Jackson. They pushed and prodded at the Town defence without ever overly testing Christian Walton, before the Blues went in at half-time a goal up. The forward, playing from the left side with John-Jules through the middle, picked his spot and buried it into the back of the Wednesday net at pace. Edmundson made it, as he charged through the heart of the Wednesday midfield and defence from inside his own half, before the ball eventually landed at the feet of Jackson off a Wednesday leg. First, skipper Sam Morsy had a shot blocked inside the penalty area before, with Walton out of position, Barry Bannan landed on a Leif Davis clearance and took the opportunity to shoot from inside his own half. The former Rotherham striker appeared to be a yard offside when putting the ball in the net.

Sheffield Wednesday took an important point off in-form Ipswich Town at Hillsborough but they did not half make hard work of it.

A linesman had been the target on the first two occasions, but this was all in the Ipswich penalty area. Just three minutes after the second goal, Hillsborough had something to get behind. Ipswich added to it, or rather the Owls did it for them, Iorfa putting a Wes Burns cross into his own net. All three incidents, close together midway through the first half, drew groans from an increasingly agitated crowds. It would be the 89th minute before Michael Smith equalised. And central midfielder Dele-Bashiru is neither.

Ipswich Town take on Sheffield Wednesday, at Hillsborough, in a League One heavyweight clash this afternoon.

Two goals in the final 15 minutes from George Byers and Michael Smith rescued a point for Sheffield Wednesday.

An Ipswich defender heads the ball behind for a corner. He dinks a cross to the back post. Mighten goes down in the box after a challenge from Harness. No one can get on the end of it. The keeper gathered at the second attempt. I say that and then Bannan releases Palmer down the right. Jackson races on to a through ball. 11 - The Wednesday response Looked a strong penalty shout.

Darren Moore says that Sheffield Wednesday's game against Ipswich Town was at risk of being abandoned as fans fumed over the performance of the officials.

“He did warn me and Kieran that he would take the teams off and abandon the game, which would have been an absolute catastrophe for us as a football club being the home team. We got something out of the game.” “I could feel the frustration around it today,” he told the media.

Owls boss Darren Moore admitted to Alan Biggs for @talkSPORT that the ref warned both him and Kieran McKenna that he would end the game if any more objects ...

The mentality and the physicality of the team shone at times today. The officiating we witnessed at Hillsborough today was nothing short of a disgrace- yet nothing will be done. @JoelGardiner20: There has to be an investigation or something into the standard of officiating at all levels of the football pyramid. We have to learn from it and I’m sure we will, because the boys are getting better and better. On his team staying top and unbeaten, McKenna said: “The unbeaten bit is nice because we’re showing a level of resilience in general. We knew we were going to have to do very well to compete. “We knew we would have to defend. They gave everything for the cause to get something out of the game. To come back from two nil down in the manner that we did after the two goals we conceded was good. We got something out of the game. He did warn me and Kieran that he would take the teams off and abandon the game, which would have been an absolute catastrophe for us as a football club being the home team.
