Half-Time Report: Sheffield Wednesday leading against Bournemouth

Sheffield Wednesday are leading Bournemouth 2-1 after the first half of their Championship match this afternoon.

Kieran Lee threatened for the visitors in the opening stages, but saw his powerful effort go just wide of the post.

The hosts had a chance of their own when Lewis Grabban fired in a low strike across goal that was tipped round the post by Chris Kirkland.

In the 16th minute it was the away side who broke the deadlock when Atdhe Nuhiu drilled home an effort from the edge of the box after Ian Harte had given the ball away.

Bournemouth were back on level terms just past the half-hour mark through Marc Pugh, who headed in from Lewis Grabban's cross.

It did not take The Owls long to regain their lead, as within two minutes Sam Hutchinson glanced in a header from close range following a long throw-in.

Andrew Surman came close to equalising for the hosts in the final minute of the first half, but saw his close-range effort saved by Kirkland.
