Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen has said he is "very proud" of his side after they won 2-0 at Portsmouth.

In their first league win of the season, club captain Barry Bannan scored the visitors' first on 12 minutes with a fantastic 20-yard free-kick with 19-year-old striker George Brown netting the Owls other goal early in the second half.

"I'm very happy, very proud," said the Dane to BBC Radio Sheffield. "I think it was a very intensive performance today and an intensive game.

"We had some experience in the last games where we were quickly one or two nil down, [so we needed] to give ourselves a good beginning, then we should stay in the game.

"One of the key things to win the game is how many times we could play a team-mate in [at] speed behind the opponent's defending line so a big performance to have the discipline to keep up the game plan [for] 90 minutes.

"I'm so proud of the boys."
