"It was a nightmare start against their Steel City rivals for Wednesday as a terrible clearance from Joel Ndala went straight to Gustavo Hamer, who teed up Patrick Bamford for a cute finish after just 73 seconds. Callum O'Hare then crashed a powerful shot against the near post before Harrison Burrows doubled United's lead in the 19th minute. He started the move before meeting Sydie Peck's pass to fire past Seny Dieng."
"However, in the 49th minute, Wednesday were given a lifeline as Phillips received a straight red card for a high follow-through on Svante Ingelsson. The visitors took advantage just four minutes later, with Tayo Adaramola squaring it across the box to Charlie McNeill, who bent a lovely low shot into the bottom-right corner."
"Wednesday struggled to build any momentum after that, though, and they went down to 10 men themselves in the 90th minute when Gabriel Otegbayo received his second booking for a tactical foul on Tyrese Campbell. With the numbers evened out, Dieng was twice called into action in stoppage time, thwarting both Campbell and Peck to keep the scoreline down."
Sheffield Wednesday's relegation from the Championship was confirmed after a 2-1 loss to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. A poor Joel Ndala clearance allowed Gustavo Hamer to set up Patrick Bamford's early opener, and Harrison Burrows added a second in the 19th minute. Kalvin Phillips received a straight red in the 49th minute, and Charlie McNeill reduced the deficit four minutes later from Tayo Adaramola's pass. Gabriel Otegbayo was sent off in the 90th minute, and Seny Dieng made late saves as United secured their fourth consecutive derby win. Points deductions had already left Wednesday vulnerable, and the club reached a 10-game Championship losing run.
