YEP Player Ratings

Last updated : 22 August 2016 By .

Rob Green One huge save from Hooper which came just at the right time, on an otherwise tidy day. 7/10

Luke Ayling Starting to look like a quality signing. Gave Forestieri nothing when the Italian was shunted out to the left wing. 8/10

Liam Cooper No denying the errors early on but tightened up quickly and slogged to the very end. 7/10

Kyle Bartley The Bartley-Cooper combination at centre-back looks promising. Bartley was the better of the two. 8/10

Charlie Taylor Opened Wednesday up in the build-up the first goal and was much more like his old self. 7/10

Hadi Sacko An absolute livewire. Murdered Daniel Pudil and was the driving force in the second period. 9/10

Liam Bridcutt Bridcutt returns and the midfield looks tighter. No great mystery there. Great to have him back. 8/10

Ronaldo Vieira The best he’s played and it can’t be a coincidence that having Bridcutt next to him gave him more freedom. 8/10

Alex Mowatt Not quite as influential as other players but kept his shape and his discipline well. That frustrated Wednesday. 7/10

Marcus Antonsson Clever movement again but a slightly quiet afternoon until he came up with a deadly header. 7/10

Chris Wood Needed to follow up Tuesday’s goal and celebration with another statement. Took his chance beautifully. 8/10

Subs:Souleymane Doukara (for Antonsson, 69) - An unexpected choice of substitute from Monk but didn’t put a foot wrong. 6/10

Kemar Roofe (for Mowatt, 77) - His cross set up Wood’s goal and a peach it was too. Wednesday’s defence were nowhere. 7/10

Kalvin Phillips (for Sacko, 88) - Leeds were home and hosed by the time he came on. Phillips made sure it stayed that way. 5/10

Subs (not used): Marco Silvestri, Lewie Coyle, Sol Bamba, Pablo Hernandez.

Referee: Simon Hooper (Wiltshire) - There were shouts for a Wednesday penalty after the opening goal but he handled the game well. 7/10

Attendance: 29,075

Sheffield Wednesday: Keiren Westwood - 6 Jack Hunt - 5 Tom Lees - 6 Sam Hutchinson - 5 Daniel Pudil - 4 Ross Wallace - 4 Almen Abdi - 6 Kieran Lee - 5 Barry Bannan - 5 Fernando Forestieri - 6 Steve Fletcher - 6

Subs:Gary Hooper (for Abdi, 46) - 5 David Jones (for Wallace, 64) - 5 Will Buckley (for Jack Hunt, 72) - 5
