Owls turn game on head after break

08 January 2011 17:30
Sheffield Wednesday swept aside npower Championship strugglers Bristol City 3-0 with an impressive second-half display to secure a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup. City, 17th in the table but unbeaten in their last three league matches, dominated the first half and appeared set for a comfortable passage, but goals from Wednesday trio Gary Teale, Neil Mellor and Clinton Morrison after the break turned the game on its head. The Owls' promotion push in npower League One had suffered a setback following successive defeats, but once winger Teale gave the visitors a shock lead early in the second half, Keith Millens' Robins fell apart. Owls striker Mellor headed a second in the 55th minute and when Morrison despatched the third goal nine minutes later, the game was over as a contest. Owls manager Alan Irvine included new signings Reda Johnson and Michael Morrison in a new-look back four and Daniel Jones was in impressive form after being recalled.
