Marcus Tudgay's late strike helped Sheffield Wednesday recover from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Blackburn at Hillsborough.

The Premier League club raced ahead through goals from Ryan Nelson and Jason Roberts.

Akpo Sodje reduced the Owls' arrears but Blackburn had a chance to restore their two-goal advantage when Richard Wood was penalised for a foul on Steven Nzonzi.

However, El-Hadji Diouf's tame penalty was saved by Lee Grant and the rebound was scrambled clear by the Wednesday defence.

Brian Laws' side equalised through a superb volley from Tudgay.
