Match report: Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Bristol City

By James Crawley  Sunday Dec 22, 2019

City slipped to defeat at Hillsborough, with Barry Bannan slotting home a late but decisive penalty.

The Owls had better of the chances yet City were defensively solid for much of the game, only lacking a killer touch in the final third.

Callum O’Dowda fired just wide inside the first minute of the game, while Jack Hunt went close to scoring against his former club, only to see a header cleared off the line.

But Tommy Rowe was judged to have brought Atdhe Nuhiu down with only a little over five minutes of the game remaining and Bannan tucked the resulting spot-kick into the bottom left corner to seal the points.
