The Owls dazzled in the first half against the Hornets, showing great promise and vigor on the pitch. Despite their efforts that kept the visitors on edge, luck didn’t quite favor them as they entered halftime on even ground, having created numerous scoring opportunities.
However, the tides turned dramatically in the second half when Tom Cleverley’s squad earned two consecutive penalties, shifting the momentum decisively in their favor. This turn of events culminated in a comprehensive 6-2 victory for the visitors, dealing the hosts one of their most humbling defeats at home in recent memory. The atmosphere at S6 was surreal, leaving the Owls languishing in 18th place in the Championship.
After the final whistle, coach Röhl mentioned that his players were left in disbelief in the locker room. Reflecting on the match, he emphasized the importance of playing a complete game of 90 minutes rather than just the first half. The disappointment was palpable as he underlined that the conceded goals were unacceptable and highlighted them for the team to review post-match.
Next up for Wednesday is a crucial fixture on Tuesday against Norwich City, with redemption being a priority before their anticipated showdown against Sheffield United on Sunday.
