Graham Taylor's ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa ๐ฅ lose and fail to score for the first time this season and fall back to 11th place in the table with seven points from six games.
Villa ๐ฅ lose for the first time in 1988-89 as they concede early, miss a second half penalty and have Andy Gray ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ sent off for striking anger magnet Gary Megson to let an uncultured Wednesday ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ side claim all three points.
The penalty comes after Kevin Pressman ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ brings Chris Price ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ down with a professional foul with the goal gaping but such were the laws that the 'keeper stayed on to come up with an excellent save to Stuart Gray's ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ penalty.
Midfielder Andy Gray ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ is ๐ฅ sent off for the first time in a Villa shirt on his ๐ 28th appearance.

What they Said
"I'm not saying we deserved to get something out of the game, but we should have done."
Graham Taylor.
AN eighth minute goal by David Hirst was sufficient to give Sheffield Wednesday victory over Villa who failed to equalise in a second-half fight back during which their midfield man Andy Gray was sent off.
Villa had chances particularly in the 75th minute when a penalty kick by Stuart Gray was brilliantly palmed away at the foot of a post by goalkeeper Kevin Pressman.
Pressman redeemed his error for it was he who brought down Chris Price in the area as he fastened onto a poor back-pass from Nigel Worthington.
But Villa's effort faltered five minutes later when Gray was given his marching orders for striking Gary Megson in the face.
