The Owls have hit 49 goals in the league this season and 22 of those have come from Fernando Forestieri and Gary Hooper.

Speaking after victory at Hillsborough this weekend, Forestieri says his impressive goal return is a result of the hard work of his team mates.

After heading home the Owls’ first of the afternoon against the Bees and his 12th of the season, Forestieri thanked his fellow Owls and said:

“I want to say thank you to my team because they have helped me to get the goals.

“Now I have scored 12 and I hope for more but for me, it doesn’t matter who scores.

“Everyone is important, everyone is working hard for the team and that is the most important.

“Who scores the goals doesn’t matter, the important thing is the next game and that you get the three points.”



Wednesday remain undefeated in the Championship in 2016 and will take their impressive form to Preston next weekend.

Over 5,000 supporters will head to Deepdale and Forestieri says that now becomes the only focus of the players.

“Everyone is happy because we win and stay in the play-offs and now we focus on Preston.
