Less than an hour into a bonkers Championship relegation fight, Sheffield Wednesday were cursing their luck.
For the second time in the match, the Owls had lost a centre-back through injury, Michael Ihiekwe's replacement Bambo Diaby smashing his nose trying to head his team back in front for a second time. Eight minutes later, as Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Aynsley Pears sliced an innocuous Dom Hyam backpass into his own net to put the visitors 3-1 up, no one in the packed away end was complaining about bad luck.
Shortly after Joe Rankin-Costello steered a shot at Akin Famewo, Windass missed a much easier – albeit not easy – chance to put his side in front again. Musaba got the ball across from the right, Ike Ugbo was unable to get on the end of it and with a defender blocking his view, Windass almost fell onto it and stabbed wide of an empty net.
