It has not been a dull couple of weeks from a Sheffield Wednesday perspective. With six seconds of extra time to play, Josh Windass’s diving header spared Wednesday another penalty shootout and sent them into the Championship.

Fifteen years on from his dad, Dean, lashing in here to win Hull City promotion to the Premier League another Windass made a Wembley memory to last a lifetime.

The celebrations were wild. Barry Bannan, the Wednesday captain who departed with cramp deep into extra time, rushed to celebrate with Dean in the stands.

It was a heartbreaking ending for Barnsley, who played more than 70 minutes with 10 men after Adam Phillips was controversially sent off early in the second half.
