Postpublished at 16:48 BST 18 April
Sheff Wed 1-1 Charlton

My word!
Wednesday defender Gabriel Otegbayo had one goal in his senior career before today but he's nearly just scored his second of the match!
Max Lowe's cross comes to the Irishman and, on the stretch, he can't quite get the contact he wants.

Postpublished at 16:45 BST 18 April

Big chance for Tigers defender Semi Ajayi but he can't direct his close range effort on target.

Sheff Wed 1-1 Charlton

Not that it's worth all that much but this would be a third game without defeat for relegated Sheffield Wednesday.

SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:39 BST 18 April

No messing about from Nathan Jones after his side let their lead slip.
The Addicks boss makes a triple change and on come Macaulay Gillesphey, Tyreece Campbell and Miles Leaburn.

HUGE!
Preston had been in the ascendency this half but this is clinical from Daryl Dike.
A long throw is pinballed about the right flank before being threaded into Dike on the run, whose silky smooth shot finds the back of the net.
A massive three points in the relegation battle pretty much in the bag.
