Wycombe 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday: Will Vaulks rocket boosts promotion bid for Owls
Saturday 14 January 2023 18:34, UK
Will Vaulks’ wonder strike gave title-chasing Sheffield Wednesday a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wycombe at Adams Park.
The Owls moved within three points of League One leaders Plymouth courtesy of the former Cardiff midfielder's 13th-minute rocket.
Wednesday are now 18 games unbeaten in all competitions, but there is concern for Reece James and George Byers who were both stretchered off.
Meanwhile Wycombe still lie two points off sixth-place Barnsley who lost at Charlton.
The hosts were beginning to exert themselves in the opening stages when Vaulks picked up the ball 30 yards from goal.
