One statistic demonstrates how Sheffield Wednesday were cheated against Luton Town.

Sheffield Wednesday will feel let down by the officiating in their 2-1 defeat to Luton Town.

Sheffield Wednesday secured a crucial league victory at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.

Barry Bannan struck a superb volley, setting the Owls up for a well-deserved win over Luton Town. However, the Hatters finally won the game 2-1.

The comeback began when Di’Shon Bernard was sent off for an apparent handball that resulted in a Luton penalty. However, others believe the ball impacted Bernard’s shoulder.

Sheffield Wednesday were denied a penalty before Carlton Morris scored his second goal for Luton despite controlling the ball.

Rob Staton criticized the officiating following Sheffield Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with QPR in the previous Championship game.

One incredible statistic suggests Sheffield Wednesday should have won against Luton Town.

If Sheffield Wednesday had won the game against Luton, there would have been few complaints from the Hatters’ end.

Despite enjoying 41% possession, Danny Rohl’s squad recorded 12 shots before Bernard’s questionable sending off. Wednesday’s possession reduced significantly due to a man down.

James Beadle only made one save in the game, while Thomas Kaminski made five for Luton.

The Belgian shot-stopper was keeping Luton in the game before being sent off, demonstrating that the Owls were far ahead and deserved of at least a draw.

Despite refereeing calls, Sheffield Wednesday still have a significant issue.

While Sheffield Wednesday will undoubtedly feel badly done by after their previous two games, and even robbed after losing to Luton, there is still a major issue for the Owls to address.

Both QPR and Luton’s winning goals were preventable, as the Wednesday defenders failed to clear their lines right at the end.

Sheffield Wednesday’s current lack of a consistent center-back combination, along with Bernard’s suspension for the upcoming game against West Brom, will result in a haphazard defense.

Rohl sorely required a centre-back during the summer transfer window, and now his alternatives at the back are restricted and now out of form, forcing him to wait until January.
