Sheffield Wednesday completed the great escape on Saturday as they beat Sunderland 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.

Goals from Liam Palmer and Josh Windass got the job done in Wearside, with the Owls finishing 20th in the Championship and avoiding the drop despite spending just 22 days out of the bottom three over the course of the entire season.
