US EditionSheffield Wednesday earn unwanted record with early relegation from Championship
Sheffield Wednesday's relegation follows a season with 19-point deductions due to financial issues, confirming their drop to League One after just one win and eight draws.
- Yesterday at Bramall Lane, Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-1 to Sheffield United, confirming its relegation and making it the first EFL club relegated in February.
- After wages went unpaid during Dejphon Chansiri's ownership, Wednesday was deducted 12 points in October and six in December for EFL payment breaches.
- After Kalvin Phillips' red card early in the second half, Charlie McNeill scored four minutes later but the comeback failed and Gabriel Otegbayo was later dismissed.
- The result relegates Sheffield Wednesday, ending their three-season Championship stay and sending fans and staff into a League One rebuild while the 158-year-old club is for sale.
- Winless since September and on an 11-match losing run, Wednesday have one win, eight draws, minus seven points, and sit 41 points from safety in the Championship relegation table.
