Josh Windass grabbed the headlines as he netted a hat-trick in a thumping win for Sheffield Wednesday.
The former Rangers man was on top form as the Owls smashed five past Cambridge United in front of a packed home support to move into second spot in England's League One as they continue the fight for the title and automatic promotion to the English Championship. It was the perfect start to the year for boss Darren Moore, who reserved special praise for the attacker.
It was the perfect confidence booster ahead of a huge FA Cup tie against English Premier League high-flyers Newcastle United. The league will be the main priority this season for Wednesday - but they will go into the clash with Eddie Howe's men full of confidence and with the belief of causing a major upset due to recent results and form. The festive period has brought three wins from three - including an away win over Celtic hero Scott Brown's Fleetwood Town on Boxing Day.
