Dominic Iorfa's delight as Danny Rohl sets Sheffield Wednesday a high survival target

Having only returned from three months out injured the previous week, Iorfa made the only goal as the Owls won 1-0 at Rotherham United.

But their elation was dampened when they learnt relegation rivals Stoke City, Millwall and Queens Park Rangers also won, to keep the Owls three points from Championship safety with 11 games to play.

Not that it spoilt substitute Iorfa's mood after his part in a win that ought to have been bigger.

“It’s a great feeling, it’s been a long few months and I’ve worked really hard behind the scenes to be back out there," said the defender, who suffered a muscle injury. “Days like Saturday where I can come on and help set up the winner and getting a clean sheet – and in front of our away fans – makes it all worthwhile.

Iorfa marked his Owls debut with a 90th-minute equaliser at the New York Stadium in 2019, but said: Having been out for a few months, especially having (previously) been in a good place and performing quite well, to come back and assist the winner is probably a better feeling.”
