    Josh Windass writes himself into Sheffield Wednesday legend!

    He comes up with a diving header and what is surely the winner deep into extra time.

    Barnsley looked like they were making a sub but James Norwood is going to try and stay out there to take a penalty.

    I don't envisage him doing much running these last few minutes.

    Barnsley effectively seeing this out with nine men.

    Sheffield Wednesday are running at Barnsley in numbers now. It's five against three, but the Owls fail to make it count.

    In the end Liam Kitching clears the danger when a cross is lofted to the back post.

    How Barnsley managed to keep Mads Andersen for a season in League One I will never know.

    Mads Andersen comes up with yet another big moment for Barnsley.

    He get his body in the way of a Lee Gregory shot that was arrowing towards the back of the net.

    Ex-Sheff Wed manager on BBC Radio Sheffield

    Bannan is saying I don't want to come off but sometimes you have to be the manager and say you're coming off and make that decision.

    Get some fresh legs on.

    He's really struggling, he cannot carry on, he's got to come off.

    Barry Bannan has carried on, but it looks like his day is finally done.

    He sits down and looks down in frustration.

    Barnsley boss Michael Duff is playing conductor, urging the fans to keep giving his 10 men energy.

    They respond by upping the volume one more time.

    Sheffield Wednesday are heaping the pressure on Barnsley's backline now.

    Play, however, is paused as Barry Bannan goes down with cramp for the second time in five minutes.

    Barry Bannan now tries his luck with a dipping volley from outside the box.

    He connects beautifully, but the shot is straight at Harry Isted in Barnsley's goal

    I'm not sure I've ever seen celebrations go on for so long before a team realise the goal isn't going to stand.

    This game has had everything*.

    *Other than an actual goal.

    There is a clear offside in the build up and it doesn't count.

    That would have been something truly magical for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Will Vaulks slams the ball home but the flag is up for offside...

    It is going to be checked, but Sheffield Wednesday celebrate...

    Fifteen minutes away from three penalty shoot outs in three days.

    It's not for a want of trying that this game is still goalless.

    Maybe, just maybe, someone is going to make themselves a hero before the final, final whistle.

    Barnsley turn to their bench once more. On comes Max Watters for Nicky Cadden.
