Bristol City's first-half blitz saw them move up to third in the Championship table with a 3-0 victory over struggling Sheffield Wednesday. Bristol started on the front foot and benefitted from a sixth-minute Harry Amass own goal, as the debutant deflected Rob Dickie's strike past Ethan Horvath from close range. Emil Riis should have made it 2-0 shortly after, but did get Bristol's second goal just 12 minutes later, meeting Anis Mehmeti's lovely ball through the goalkeeper's legs.

Grimsby's reward for toppling Manchester United in the Carabao Cup is a third-round trip to crisis club Sheffield Wednesday. The League Two Mariners pulled off one of the biggest shocks in the competition's history by beating the Premier League giants following a mammoth penalty shootout and will now travel to Hillsborough with a realistic shot of making the fourth round.

Sheffield Wednesday expressed hope to open the North Stand for the first home game against Stoke City on 16 August, pending structural assessments.

In April 1991, John Sheridan scored the winner for Sheffield Wednesday against Manchester United in the League Cup final, and that 1-0 victory was an even bigger shock than you might think: to this day it's the last time a club playing outside the top division of English football won a major trophy.

The situation at Sheffield Wednesday has escalated into a critical crisis, with delayed payments, players and staff not being paid, and the club under multiple EFL embargoes.

Maheta Molango described the situation at Sheffield Wednesday as shocking and indicated that players and staff weren't paid on time or in full for the past two months.

Danny Rohl's ambition to move up in coaching has hit roadblocks, with failed talks with Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig leaving his future uncertain.
