Top 5: Carlos Carvalhal’s Sheffield Wednesday victories

3. Newcastle United 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday (26/12/16)

Having already previously beaten Newcastle United 1-0 in the preceding season’s League Cup, no Owls fan could have asked for a better belated Christmas present than travelling home with all three points after defeating the league leaders on Boxing Day.

Not only did Sheffield Wednesday come away with the points, they ran out deserved winners.

Carvalhal implemented a successful game plan to accompany an impressive display by The Owls squad.

This win also reminded the top five in the league that Sheffield Wednesday are still serious contenders for promotion as the second-half of the campaign began.

Success against The Magpies once again suggested that Carvalhal’s troops are a match for anybody.
