Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Sunderland: Eliezer Mayenda achieves double black cats revitalize hopes for automatic promotion

Sunderland revitalized his hopes in an automatic promotion from the championship after their double Eliezer Mayena helped them beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in Hillsborough.

The leds and Hull defeats left the black cats eight points behind second -placed Sheffield United with 12 remaining game matches, but Mayenda – who also scored twice on his return in August – helped to reduce it to five in front of the rest of the weekend action.

The fourth defeat at five is held on Wednesday – who lost to Max Lowe and Callum Paterson to injury – in 13th place, with six points to Play -Floss.

Although it was not lacking intensity, the game took some time to warm up. And when he did, Sheffield would probably be in front of one of many half of Valentine on Wednesday, he crossed Josh Windass on the right – without a goal in 10 games – who was first burning.

Sunderland took over the lead shortly after the half -hour mark – and in controversial circumstances.

Leo Hjelde’s long ball from the defense flew all the way to Mayen, who controlled the ball after Lowe’s bad jump and lifted the ball next to James Beadle. But the first contact was established with his left hand and, according to the laws of the game, it should not stand.

“It hits him on his hand and you can’t benefit then,” Andy Hinchcliffe said to Sport Sky Sports Sports. “If you forward the ball to the teammate, they can put the ball in the back of the net, but Mayena will never do it. He takes up the opportunity, but a really goal should not stand.”

There were several complaints on the ground at the time, but Danny Rohl saw replay at halftime and started putting a record immediately after the break, which lasted less than 120 seconds.

Svante Ingsson encouraged Chris Mephama on the ball on the right, progressed down the left and hanged the most famous ball for Paterson, who got up to lead the ball next to Anthony Patterson.

After the shield in the proceedings, Mayena renewed the visitors’ lead with 19 minutes of 90 to play. Trai Hume made a top ball on the right and, with Michael Ihiekwe, the Spaniard was free to head the ball outside Beadle.

At the time of stopping, the Gassama Gassama saw a strong low strike that Mepham boldly blocked, but otherwise, there were few indicators that the owls had ever found their way to the game.

Managers

Sheffield on Wednesday Danny Rohl:

“I have to say again, we played a fantastic game again against a strong side. Good options to score two simple goals, and then, in the end, you have a big decision against you. It’s a football at the moment. But admit goals are too simple and it’s the main part for me.

“When I saw the goal we confessed, this is handball, this is the reason why I have a clear mind about what we need to do in this situation. At the moment, this is the result – what should I do? For me is that I can change as a manager of this group and we have to work hard, do the basics and again.

“The possession of the ball and how we create a chance was good to see; it was dynamic, the defense of the front foot; we were brave in a lot of good moments, but it ended 2-1 against us.

“If we continue such performances, in the last 11 games we have a great, great opportunity to take advantage of something.”
