Sheffield United held to goalless draw by Wednesday in Steel City derby

Jos Luhukay made a moderately successful start to his tenure at Sheffield Wednesday, with his struggling Owls side holding on for a 0-0 draw at their Steel City neighbours United, despite being reduced to 10 men midway through the second half.

The former Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin manager was a surprise appointment as successor to Carlos Carvalhal and was handed the toughest possible start to his tenure – an away trip to Wednesday’s city rivals, who had left Hillsborough with a 4-2 win in September.
