Sheffield Wednesday Set Club Record in 4-0 Defeat at Swansea

Swansea 4-0 Sheffield Wednesday: Vipotnik Shines, Owls Set Record

Sheffield Wednesday’s season went from bad to worse as they suffered a 4-0 thrashing at Swansea City, extending their goal drought to nine consecutive league matches — the longest in the club’s history.

Vipotnik Leads the Charge

Zan Vipotnik was the star of the show, scoring twice to reach 15 Championship goals this season.

• His first: a thunderous free-kick from the edge of the box.

• His second: a calm finish from Ronald’s assist.

The Slovenian forward is now the top scorer in the Championship.

Match Summary

Goncalo Franco opened the scoring with a tidy finish, while Malick Yalcouye added a fourth late on — his first goal since joining from Brighton.

Wednesday’s Woes Continue

• 9 consecutive league games without a goal

• 8 straight Championship defeats

• 14 hours of football without scoring

• 39 points from safety with 15 matches left

Despite Henrik Pedersen’s tactical tweaks and an energetic opening spell, Wednesday folded under Swansea’s pressing and quick transitions.

Swansea Resurgence Under Matos

Vitor Matos has now guided Swansea to:

• 8 wins in their last 13 league games

• 6 home wins from the past 7

• 15th place in the Championship, just 5 points off the playoffs

Matos said:

“We showed the right mindset. Goals, a clean sheet — I’m really happy.”
