Saturday 1 October 2022 18:05, UK
A Will Vaulks wondergoal gave promotion-chasing Sheffield Wednesday a 1-0 win at Port Vale.
The former Rotherham man smashed home from distance just after the hour to give the Owls back-to-back wins.
Vale were left counting the cost of missed chances after Gavin Massey and Ellis Harrison went close in the first half.
David Stockdale tipped a dipping Massey cross onto the bar two minutes in. Vaulks headed just wide before Stockdale saved Harrison's header during an open start to the game.
Jack Stevens did well to keep out a bullet header from Ben Heneghan at the other end on 22 minutes.
