Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth believes his side ‘deserved’ to beat Sheffield Wednesday in what was the club’s final home game of the regular league season.

Jordon Obita scored the winner midway through the second-half with a tap in from a Daryl Horgan cross in the 1-0 victory, which was the Chairboys’ 11th league game without defeat.

The result means that the club have nearly secured a play-off place in what was only their second-ever victory against the Owls in eight attempts.

Speaking at a jubilant Adams Park, Ainsworth said: “It was nothing more than we deserved.

“After we rolled the first-half, I wanted to tell the boys how I wanted them to play the first-half better, but I thought ‘what’s the point in that?’ 

“This was because we’re now in the second-half so I needed to tell them how to win the second-half and I think that riding the storm during the first-half was really important and today was really a game of two halves.

“We put a full press on them in the second-half so they couldn’t get behind us and Chris Forino and Ryan Tafazolli had to be win those headers which they did, as we really stepped on them.

“And the goal we scored was brilliant.

“My son would call it a ‘sweaty goal’ as that’s what they call it on FIFA, but it was a brilliant run by Daryl Horgan and the awareness he had to find Jordon Obita.

“I thought we edged it, but it could have been a draw as Sheffield Wednesday are a Championship side, and every player they have is Championship calibre so that makes this result so sweet.

“It was a tough game.”

Up next for Wycombe is Burton Albion on the final day of the season.
