Sheffield Wednesday caused one of the shocks of the Championship season so far on Tuesday night as they downed a promotion favourite to move one step closer to safety.

Substitute striker Jordan Rhodes came off the bench to score a 90th-minute winner for Neil Thompson's Owls side at AFC Bournemouth. The victory moved them up into the final relegation place, just three points behind Birmingham with a game in hand, too.

The severity of the result was seen after full-time as the home side sacked their manager, Jason Tindall.

ExaminerLive's Dom Howson rated Keiren Westwood as his 'Man of the Match' in his post-match ratings, grading him an 8/10. He wrote: 'Pulled off a string of fine saves after the break to frustrate Bournemouth.'

This echoed the thoughts of several of the Hillsborough faithful who were watching from home: one supporter dubbed him the "best keeper in the league" whilst another claimed the veteran continues to prove Garry Monk wrong.

While his influence was vital - especially with that last-minute save to seal the win - it was another Owls star who ran the show on the night.

Barry Bannan was as influential as ever as Wednesday's captain in the heart of the engine room.

No Owls player was as involved as much as the Scotsman. He recorded 56 touches, ten more than any other visiting starter on the night.

He also made one key pass, proving to be as creative as ever, and won 75% of his duels, meaning he had the better of the likes of Jack Wilshere and Lewis Cook, and put in three tackles, via SofaScore.

Industrious.

Bannan topped the charts for tackles in this match, so he clearly had a major influence on dictating the play and thwarting whatever the Cherries threw at them during the 90 minutes.

Not even central defensive duo Tom Lees and Sam Hutchinson combined for as many as the 31-year-old's three, as per SofaScore.

The midfield beast, who is valued at £1.8m by Transfermarkt, has started all 26 of the Owls' league outings and it's hardly a surprise given the impact he has on this team.

He was Thompson's star man once again as he stole the show on the south coast.
