Sheffield Wednesday made it three wins on the spin with a narrow victory over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok this afternoon.
On-loan striker Mamady Sidibe put the visitors ahead before the break with a bullet header from close range, giving Adam Bogdan in the Bolton goal no chance.
Bolton had shaded possession in the early stages and forced Chris Kirkland into a smart save through David N'Gog.
Benik Afobe's pace caused Wednesday problems throughout the first half but Dougie Freedman's side trail at the interval.
Miguel Llera nearly doubled the Owls' advantage before the break but his header from close range drifted just wide of the post.
Bolton responded after the break and put the Owls defence under pressure, creating chances and enjoying the majority of possession.
Afobe had the hosts' best chance 20 minutes from time with a header but was denied by a strong save from Kirkland.
Marvin Sordell and Mikel Alonso were introduced late on but could not make the breakthrough, condemning Wanderers to a disappointing defeat.
