Bannan's goal was his first league strike for Wednesday since September 2016

Goals from Barry Bannan and Tom Lees guided Sheffield Wednesday to a first Championship win of the season - and ended Millwall's unbeaten start.

Scotland international Bannan opened the scoring with a thunderous 20-yard volley early on after the visitors failed to clear an Adam Reach cross.

Neil Harris' side were undone again a minute after the break as captain Lees prodded in from close range.

Ryan Tunnicliffe got one back for the Lions to set-up a nervy finish at Hillsborough, but the hosts held on.

It could have been easier for Jos Luhukay's side had substitute Fernando Forestieri and goalscorer Bannan taken late chances.

However, Wednesday were grateful to Cameron Dawson's injury-time save from Millwall's Czech winger Jiri Skalak.

In beating the London club, the Owls also earned a first victory since a transfer embargo placed on the South Yorkshire side had been lifted.

By contrast, Millwall, who finished the 2017-18 campaign eighth, just three points off the play-offs, were beaten for the first time in all competitions since April.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Jos Luhukay:

"We are all very happy for our first win but not just that, it's the way that we won with everyone fighting for each other.

"The players worked unbelievably hard today and we must do this again in three days when we come back here [against Ipswich Town].

"The fans were amazing and helped us fight to the very last minutes, they were very important for us today."

Millwall manager Neil Harris:

"The first goal was a great strike but the second was a joke of a goal and we gave ourselves a mountain to climb.

"Those standards won't be accepted and my words were quite scathing to the players. I let them know what I thought in no uncertain terms.

"I'm the angriest I've been for a long time. We're a good team but tonight we didn't show it and I'm not prepared to accept that."
