Fans were in high spirits as they cheered for their team, with one supporter noting, “It is a party mood at Hillsborough, where the fans are celebrating a new ownership and dawn of a new era under businessman David Storch.” This win was Sheffield Wednesday’s first home victory of the season.

Nathaniel Chalobah and Liam Palmer scored for Sheffield Wednesday, while Karlan Grant netted the only goal for West Brom. The match was especially meaningful as it coincided with the completion of Sheffield Wednesday’s takeover by Arise Capital Partners.

This victory allows Sheffield Wednesday to avoid becoming the first team in EFL history to finish a campaign on minus points after suffering an 18-point deduction.

In contrast, West Brom, managed by James Morrison in his first match as permanent boss, finished the season in 21st place—four points above the drop zone. Morrison made three changes to the lineup for this match.

Key facts from the match include:

• Sheffield Wednesday won by scoring two goals compared to West Brom’s one.
• This marked Sheffield Wednesday’s second Championship win this season.
• West Brom aimed to extend their unbeaten run to eleven games but fell short.

Despite the defeat, West Brom managed to stay clear of relegation. The club captain Jed Wallace returned to the bench after recovering from a calf injury but did not play. Jayson Molumby missed out due to a minor muscle strain.
