You contract thriller, Joao..

Hillsborough in nine league visits since 2007 – bottom and searching for their first three points of the season.

Manager Paul Hurst, a boyhood Wednesday fan, pointed to the red card which even Luhukay admitted seemed harsh.

“I don’t feel I need to say anything. Everybody’s seen it. I’ve been told their guys have said it’s a totally wrong decision,” said Hurst.

“I’ll try to be careful with my words because it seems we can’t criticise when people get things wrong, which isn’t right to me.

“It’s the ref’s job, he has got to do better than that.”

Joao gave Wednesday the lead in the 16th minute, nodding home Barry Bannan’s corner at the back post.

Jordan Thorniley went close with a diving header and Wednesday looked more threatening, but Ipswich levelled five minutes from the break, Nsiala nodding home from Luke Chambers’ flick. Owls fans wanted offside and while Ellis Harrison may have been, he was not involved in the build-up.

It could have been even worse, Liam Palmer clearing another Nsiala effort off the line before Cameron Dawson made a one-handed save from Harrison.

There was little between the sides in the second half and Forestieri’s appearance in the 73rd minute proved to be the turning point.

Nsiala looked to have made a clean challenge only for referee Jeremy Simpson to send him off.

Two minutes later Joao headed home from a rebound off a post.
