Can you come back bigger? Sheffield Wednesdey is making an unparalleled comeback. The team will compete against Peterborough United in the play-offs for promotion to the Championship, the second tier of English football. After the first leg, Wednesday is 4-0 behind, but that is no reason to give up.

In the first half of the second leg, Michael Smith (31) and Lee Gregory (34) scored. After the break, Reece James (29) raises to 3:0. Before Liam Palmer (31) scored the goal to make it 4-0 in the 98th minute. Hillsborough Stadium is shaking!

In extra time it goes against the Owls again: Gregory scores in his own goal. But again, they don’t give up. Callum Paterson (28) scored in the 112th minute to save Sheffield Wednesday in the penalty shootout. The team won 5:3 there and will now face Bolton Wanderers or FC Barnsley in the promotion final at Wembley Stadium.

Overtaken a 0:4? It is the biggest comeback in the history of the English play-offs, having existed since 1987. No team has so far managed to close a deficit of more than two goals.

Palmer, who shot Sheffield Wednesday in extra time, is over the moon after the game. “Guys, what a game! Thank you for your support,” he tells the fans. “I can’t believe we still turned the game around, but we did it. See you at Wembley.” (SME)
