Sheffield Wednesday made English footballing history as they overturned a four-goal deficit to book their place in the League One play-off final.
The Owls’ season looked destined to reach a humiliating conclusion after they were humbled 4-0 by Peterborough in the first leg of their semi-final clash. However, spurred on by a fervent Hillsborough crowd, Wednesday won 5-1 after extra time before holding their nerve in a penalty shootout.
The odds were stacked against the hosts, with no side having ever recovered from four goals down in a two-legged play-off tie. And fans turned up with hope rather than expectation, despite racking up 19 more points than the Posh during the regular season.
