Sheffield Wednesday’s attempt to capitalize on their victory over Birmingham City was thwarted by Leicester City, who secured a 2-0 win and a goal from Jamie Vardy against his former club. This leaves Danny Rohl’s team five points from safety in the Championship, with time running out.
Enzo Maresca’s side dominated the game, 14 points ahead of third-placed Southampton as they edge closer to a return to the Premier League. Vardy, who was previously released by the Owls for being too small as a teenager, played a key role in the opening goal, scored by Abdul Fatawu after just four minutes.
Leicester’s team effort showcased a strong performance, with threats coming from all areas of the pitch, leaving Sheffield Wednesday struggling to keep up. The Owls were unable to defend against Leicester’s skillful play, with Harry Winks, Jamie Vardy, and Kieran Dewsbury-Hall causing consistent problems.
Despite a brief attempt by Wednesday to get back in the game, Leicester’s strong defense and Vardy’s impressive performance ultimately secured the win, leaving the Owls with little opportunity to make an impact. Leicester was able to maintain control for the remainder of the match, resulting in a disappointing defeat for Sheffield Wednesday.
