3 things we clearly learnt about Sheffield Wednesday after their 2-0 victory over Charlton

Sheffield Wednesday backed up their recent victory over Doncaster Rovers by securing all three points in their showdown with Charlton Athletic yesterday.

The Owls opened the scoring at Hillsborough in the fifth-minute of the clash as George Byers planted a header past Addicks goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray.

Callum Paterson then doubled Wednesday’s advantage on the stroke of half-time as he slotted home from Marvin Johnson’s cross.

Although Charlton did push for a way back into the match in the second-half, the Owls managed to keep a clean-sheet in-front of their supporters.

As a result of this triumph, Darren Moore’s side moved up to sixth in the League One standings.

Here, we have decided to reflect on this fixture by taking a look at THREE things we clearly learnt about Wednesday after their 2-0 win over Charlton…

Marvin Johnson is now excelling in his new role

After being asked to fill in at centre-back on numerous occasions this season, Marvin Johnson is now being utilised in a wing-back role by Moore.

Having registered an assist in the club’s recent 3-1 victory over Doncaster, Johnson replicated this feat in Saturday’s showdown with Charlton as he latched onto Massimo Luongo’s pass before providing an inch-perfect cross for Paterson who fired home.

When you consider that Johnson managed to record an impressive WhoScored match rating of 7.34 against the Addicks, he will be brimming with confidence heading into his side’s meeting with Burton Albion on Tuesday and thus it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he produces another eye-catching display for the Owls.
