Sheffield Wednesday 0 - 1 Sheffield United Rhian Brewster’s goal secured a derby win for Sheffield United over Sheffield Wednesday, drawing the Blades level on points with Championship leaders Leeds. Author - Phil Flanagan Stadium - Hillsborough The win also sealed United’s first league double over their city rivals since the 2005-06 season and delivered a blow to the Owls' play-off hopes.

Sheffield Wednesday 5 - 1 Peterborough United  (The match finished 5-5 on aggregate, Sheffield Wednesday won 5-3 on penalties.) Sheffield Wednesday pulled one of the greatest playoff comebacks in English Football League history to beat Peterborough United on penalties. Substitute Jack Hunt scored the fifth penalty as the Owls, who had trailed 4-0 from the first leg, secured their place at Wembley in the League One play-off final. Throughout the match, people were discussing what was happening on social media. Very few people expected Wednesday to turn this match around.  How did that happen? The home side made the perfect start when Michael Smith slotted home a penalty in the opening 10 minutes to give the home fans renewed hope a miracle could be on the cards before Lee Gregory tapped in to make it 2-0 after 25 minutes.

Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson on a season-long loan. Henderson was keen for first-team football after losing out to David de Gea in the battle to be the first choice at Old Trafford. He is Forest's second major summer signing after Nigeria forward Taiwo Awoniyi was signed from Union Berlin. Henderson has kept 17 clean sheets in 49 Premier League games but has not played a top-flight match since May 2021.  Absolutely delighted to join @NFFC on loan for the season. Can’t wait to experience the City ground! 🔜🔛🔝 pic.twitter.com/xd2fn4rnYb — Dean Henderson (@deanhenderson) July 2, 2022 Reports seem to indicate that there is no option to buy within the loan agreement and that Forest are covering his full wages for the entire season. His last loan spell was at Sheffield United during their fairly successful first season back in the Premier League. Will he have a similar impact at Forest? Henderson, who won his solitary Eng...
