Sheffield Wednesday 3 Sunderland 0: Story of the day after Theo Corbeanu, Florian Kamberi and Lee Gregory goals and another heavy defeat

Following a 5-1 defeat at Rotherham on Saturday, Lee Johnson’s side were once again backed by a large away following but failed to deliver at Hillsborough.

First-half goals from Theo Corbeanu and Florian Kamberi put the hosts in control, before Lee Gregory added a third after the interval.
