Sheffield Wednesday secured an impressive win on the first day of the Championship season as they beat Cardiff City 2-0.

An early goal from Josh Windass gave the Owls the lead before Jordan Rhodes doubled the advantage just before the break. Whilst Garry Monk's men were happy to concede possession for much of the game, they defended well and were a threat on the counter.

So, they merited the three points and it will be a huge confidence boost to all the team as they cut the gap to the relegation zone.

Of course, Wednesday started the season on -12 points, with everyone connected to the club understanding that a fast start is vital if they are to survive, and thrive, in the Championship.

As you would expect, fans were delighted with the win, particularly considering Cardiff reached the play-offs in the previous campaign.
