Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen was proud of his side's efforts against promotion-chasing Ipswich in their 2-0 defeat.

Wednesday threatened to back up their midweek draw with their first point at Hillsborough since December 29 before Ipswich scored two late goals.

The Owls also showed more in attack and Pedersen felt his side did well against such a difficult opponent.

He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was a tough, tough game against a very, very strong opponent. They are a strong, strong team with a fantastic manager. With this cocktail, we all knew it would be a big challenge today.

"But I think from the first moment we showed that the boys really tried. We also saw in the first 10 minutes, there was some tiredness in their bodies and then we worked into the game. I think we played a really, really strong first half.

"Then second half, we really had some challenges to make the correction for their tactical changes. We did this and we had a really good period again.

"Then we had a difficult period up to the goal where we won the ball, we lost the ball and then you could feel it was difficult for us to come back."
