Those who were there witnessed a valiant and committed performance from a Sheffield Wednesday side that were edged out by the champions of England by a single goal.

It was an enjoyable night. The Owls created little but battled hard and the Hillsborough atmosphere was as good as it has been all season – a scan around the ground as Wednesday pushed on in the final minutes would have stood hairs on the necks of the comatose.

But the elephant in the room both at the ground and on BBC One’s television coverage was surely the large clumps of empty seats staring out on the champions of England.
