Unseen hero keeps Sheffield Wednesday level against Blackburn Rovers | OneFootball

Pierce Charles kept it goalless in the 44th minute with a sharp low stop, as Sheffield Wednesday drew 0-0 with Blackburn Rovers.

He had already read the danger well, springing left to parry Todd Cantwell's drive from the left side of the box (44.). The technique was tidy, the rebound pushed into a safe area.

After the restart he stayed busy, denying Matty Litherland at the near post (49.). He then dealt cleanly with a stream of corners as Blackburn Rovers turned the screw.

The goalkeeper's all-round control underpinned the clean sheet: two saves, both from shots inside the box, plus 28 accurate passes from 42 and 50 touches that helped reset play under pressure.

Because his distribution was calm and early, the Owls could push up their line and relieve territory whenever Blackburn Rovers hemmed them in, keeping the tie on even terms to the whistle.
