Darren Moore's heroic return and a spirited draw was not enough to spare Sheffield Wednesday from another plunge into League One and complete a depressing season for the Steel City.

It is the first time both Sheffield clubs have been relegated in the same season and Wednesday face what could prove a pivotal summer with 13 players out of contract.
'We have to look at the situation,' said Moore, who was back after post-Covid pneumonia.
