"And the decisive moment came after only six minutes had elapsed, with Morgan Whittaker planting Delano Burgzorg's cross into the box past the outstretched hand of emergency loanee goalkeeper Joe Lumley. The visitors continued to threaten for the remainder of the game without reward, with Tommy Conway perhaps unlucky not to get a penalty after going down under the challenge of Lumley."
"Lumley, who only signed earlier this week, was involved in the thick of the action as he produced smart stops to deny Conway and Burgzorg before the break to ensure Wednesday's deficit remained at just one. The Owls debutant made further saves in the second half, including a brilliant push over from Alan Browne's close-range volley and coming out on top in a one-on-one with substitute Kaly Sene."
"Elsewhere in the second tier, Nathan Broadhead scored the only goal as 10-man Wrexham earned their first home victory of the season with a 1-0 triumph over Oxford United. Broadhead's 14th-minute strike was enough for Phil Parkinson's side, who saw Callum Doyle receive a straight red card for a heavy tackle on Siriki Dembele in the 67th minute. Wrexham came close to adding further gloss on the scoreline in the final minute, but visiting goalkeeper Jamie Cumming spectacularly tipped Sam Smith's strike on to the crossbar"
Middlesbrough secured a 1-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday with Morgan Whittaker converting Delano Burgzorg's early cross after six minutes. Joe Lumley, an emergency loanee, made several key saves for Wednesday but could not prevent the lone goal. Tommy Conway went down under a challenge that raised penalty claims, and Wednesday struggled to create chances throughout. The match was affected by boycott protests against owner Dejphon Chansiri, and Wednesday suffered a third straight league defeat, remaining bottom of the table. In another fixture, Nathan Broadhead's 14th-minute strike earned 10-man Wrexham a 1-0 home win over Oxford United; Callum Doyle received a straight red.
