Sheffield Wednesday 2-4 Aston Villa

Aston Villa kept their chances of gaining automatic promotion alive after two late goals saw them beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-2.
Wednesday went ahead early on courtesy of Sean Clare's first senior goal for the club. Villa hit back quickly through on-loan striker Lewis Grabban but the home side were on top again before the break, when Lucas Joao headed home.
Glenn Whelan levelled the game on his return to Hillsborough and then Conor Hourihane and Robert Snodgrass (penalty) scored to seal victory.
It was a lively start to the game and Clare broke the deadlock in the 14th minute.
