Darren Moore praised his Sheffield Wednesday players after they beat Sunderland to cause a Carabao Cup upset. The Black Cats lost 2-0 at Hillsborough in the first round of the competition, with the Owls' Dennis Adeniran scoring a spectacular goal in the first half and sub Sylla Sow adding the second ten minutes into the second half to dump Alex Neil's Championship side out of the cup.
That meant League One Wednesday progressed and will now face a home tie against League Two Barnsley. Both Sunderland and Wednesday made changes last night, with Neil naming a completely different starting XI to the one that began the weekend league win at Bristol City, while Moore made eight changes to the side that started Saturday's win at MK Dons.
"We rang the changes and to see the boys come in and perform like that against good opposition was excellent," Moore told YorkshireLive. "We know Sunderland's philosophy in terms of how they go about it.
