Sheffield Wednesday have been relegated from the Championship after their 3-3 draw at Derby County this afternoon.
Sheffield Wednesday headed to Derby County this afternoon, capping their Championship season with their game game of it by far.
Nothing less than a win would’ve kept the Owls in the Championship, and Darren Moore would’ve been left anxious following Rotherham United’s early opener at Cardiff City.
But his Owls side hung on in the game today, with Sam Hutchinson putting them ahead just in front of the break after some Derby County pressure.
In an eventful second half, Martyn Waghorn and Patrick Roberts would sore in quick succession before Callum Paterson and Julian Borner pulled things level in equally quick fashion.
Waghorn though would score from the spot to take it to 3-3, leaving the Rams in 21st and Wednesday in 24th.
But one thing, aside from relegation, that got the Wednesday fans talking was the Sky Sport commentator, who compared Jordan Rhodes with the Sheffield-born, Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy.
It was a bizarre comparison, and plenty of Sheffield Wednesday fans took to Twitter after hearing it:
Jordan Rhodes has just been compared to Jamie Vardy 😂😂
