Hide AdKadeem Harris, 7: Impressed as wing-back and lasted the 90 minutes, never stopped running up and down the flanks.
Barry Bannan, 8: Wednesday’s midfield general and dictated play at Ashton Gate. A calm head a in a frenetic finish to the game.
Massimo Luongo, 7: The Australian is always a goal threat, and was on hand to fire home Wednesday’s second, match-winning goal.
Kieran Lee, 7: Picked up a yellow card for a ‘tactical’ foul, but was always available for a pass and after some injury-plagued seasons looks back to full fitness.

Hide AdJacob Murphy, 7: Picked out Connor Wickham from a corner for the Owls’ opening goal, and was denied getting on the scoresheet himself by Niki Maenpaa.
Jordan Rhodes, 7: Had few chances to score, but a willing worker and his parternship with Connor Wickham is starting to look promising.
Connor Wickham, 8: Scored for the second successive game after lockdown, and looks a different player after regaining full fitness.
