Ex-Rangers star Josh Windass in five word verdict to stunning Sheffield Wednesday play-off heroics

Josh Windass has summed up Sheffield Wednesday's play-off heroics in five words after an incredible night of drama.

The former Rangers attacker and his team-mates went into the clash at Hillsborough trailing by four goals after a first leg battering at the hands of Peterborough with the Posh heavy favourites to see out the job and reach the final with a chance of gaining promotion to the English Championship. But the hosts produced arguably one of the best comebacks in the history of the game and booked their ticket to face one of Bolton or Barnsley.

The home side grabbed two goals in the opening 25 minutes to fire hope around the support and when they found a third with 20 minutes to play it really was game on. The clock continued to tick and it was Scotland international Liam Palmer who was the hero as he prodded over the line from a knockdown in the eighth minute of added on time to spark wild scenes and take the game to extra-time.

Wednesday then suffered a blow in the additional 30 minutes with the Posh, against the script, scoring to retake the lead on aggregate before former Hearts man Callum Paterson levelled once again to make it 5-1 on the night and 5-5 over the two ties.

The game then ended up going to penalties - a scenario you can guarantee Darren Moore would have snapped your hand off for at kick-off - and the rest is history as Windass stepped up as one of the five scorers for the Owls to complete the impossible. The incredible comeback sparked wild scenes with fans invading the park to celebrate as they get set for Wembley.

Taking to social media after the game uploading a picture of himself on the pitch, Windass wrote: "Piece of p*** this game."
