Sheffield Wednesday 3 - 1 Chesterfield @ Hillsborough
Sheffield Wednesday overcame their local rivals Chesterfield at the weekend with an impressive 3-1 win. It's now six games unbeaten at Hillsborough for Wednesday, who moved up to second place in the league on Saturday.
The Owls started the brightest, and were rewarded after Lewis Buxton headed home from inside the penalty area from a set piece. Then early in the second half, Gary Madine fired home from 20 yards against the run of play, taking his personal tally into double figures, after managing 10 goals so far this season.

Chesterfield came back well however, enjoying the majority of possession late on as they looked to claw their way back. The pressured finally paid off, as former Owls striker Leon Clarke volleyed home from inside the box from a Spireites corner.
John Sheridan's men were reduced to shots from outside the area as they tried desperately for the equaliser. But Wednesday always looked a threat on the counter attack, and they grabbed a late goal to seal the three points. Winger Ben Marshall on loan from Stoke claimed his second goal for the club after curling a superb effort into the bottom corner from the left hand side.
Loan midfielder Ben Marshall curled home the clincher late on to seal a 3-1 win.
