The greatest comeback of all time? - Sheffield Wednesday book their place in League 1 play-off final

Sheffield Wednesday booked their spot in the Sky Bet League One play-off final as they beat Peterborough on penalties after launching an historic second-leg comeback.

The Owls trailed 4-0 going into the tie at Hillsborough on Thursday night, but struck four times - including a dramatic equaliser from Liam Palmer in the eighth minute of stoppage time - to take the tie to extra-time. No side in play-off history had ever overturned more than a two-goal advantage.

The Posh thought they had won it again when Lee Gregory headed into his own net, but Callum Paterson soon levelled for the Owls to take the game to spot-kicks.

There, with the aggregate score at 5-5, Sheffield Wednesday scored all five of their penalties, while Peterborough missed one of theirs, to send the Owls to Wembley.

Ref added the extra 2 minutes because of the antics of the Posh keeper.

I think with this play off semi-final bottle, Peterborough joins an exclusive list of teams who have bottled things this season:
Tottenham (top 4 and potentially Europe)
Chelsea (Premier League top half)
Millwall and Blackburn (Championship play-offs)
Reading (Championship survival)
Sheffield Wednesday (League One Automatic promotion)
Peterborough (League One Play off semi finals)

Sheffield Wednesday took notes from FC Barcelona.

[JordonVW]

I'm surprised that of all people Darren Ferguson has never heard of a thing called 'Fergie Time' 😅

But on a serious note does he not realise that if a couple of players waste time, a couple more are on the ground with cramp for a while that the ref will pause his watch? I'm sure it happens every game.

WAWAW!

[bobbeal]

Oh the irony of fergie's son moaning about fergie time 😅😅

[hubertrnx]

Greatest comeback of Sheffield Wednesday’s history for sure, greatest comeback in playoff history, probably. Greatest comeback of all-time though, no.

And I am a Wednesday fan.

Better than Barcelona vs PSG in 2017 and Liverpool vs Barcelona in 2019!
