Sheffield Wednesday boosted their hopes of an immediate return to the Championship with an impressive 4-1 win over Cheltenham at Hillsborough.

Darren Moore’s side knew victory would lift them above Sunderland and back into the top six, but the hosts made the worst possible start as Alfie May fired mid-table Cheltenham in front with four minutes on the clock. Massimo Luongo levelled from a corner just three minutes later, and the game stayed 1-1 until the break.
