Sheffield Wednesday player ratings as Ben Heneghan sparkles in Rayo Vallecano defeat

Confidently played out from the back. There were few occasions where Stockdale was called upon. Could do nothing about the own goal. Made a top clearance after a poor back pass from Famewo.

Had his hands full against Rayo's lively and mobile front line. His decision-making was iffy but he kept going and improved as the contest wore on.

Played in the centre of a three-man defence and was an absolute man mountain. His reading of the game was excellent. Strong and commanding throughout. Has been one of the standout performers in pre-season.

Returned to the starting XI after missing the Bournemouth friendly. Made a number of key blocks and challenges to keep Rayo at bay. Looked happy to receive the ball under pressure at the back.

Offered a decent outlet at right wing back. Was desperately unfortunate with the own goal after Lopez whipped in a teasing cross to the near post. Rayo's second goal also came down his side.

His first outing in Owls colours. Played the holding role in midfield. Looked understandably a tad rusty but the run out will have done him a power of good.

Typically industrious and tried to make Wednesday tick in the centre. Forced Dimitrievski into a smart stop after the break. Came off with 25 minutes to go.

Some good and bad moments. Famewo saved his bacon after he was robbed of possession near the half way line. Had a shot cleared from off the line.
