This weekend’s 1-1 draw between Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City at Hillsborough gave both sides something to smile about.

It was their first points of the season.

For Owls fans there will be plenty of disappointment following the game, as arguably with the chances we had over the 90 minutes we should’ve taken all three points – especially the efforts Steven Fletcher missed as he builds his fitness back up, so he can be forgiven in some ways.

Three points would’ve put a better reflection on the week though than the one did.

One man did see ‘two’ from the game though, attacker Fernando Forestieri found the back of the net for a second game running as he starts the Championship campaign of 2018/19 brightly, and according to Whoscored he makes it two from two in terms of being our highest rated player at the end of 90 minutes.

With five efforts on target from six in total, a pass accuracy of 73.1% and 50 touches overall, he more than earned his rating of 8.09. Defensively he also put in a tackle to raise his average, so a decent afternoon for the Forestieri household.

Can he make it three from three though?
