Derby County head coach John Eustace told BBC Radio Derby:
“I thought it was a great win.
“There’s no guarantees in any game that you should win the game, Sheffield Wednesday are playing with a lot of freedom, we knew it was always going to be very difficult.
“Usually in most games when they’ve played it’s usually lose by one goal, so a really difficult game but delighted with the win.
“It’s about the mentality of the group and I thought that we scored a great goal initially and then we were really poor for the defending for their equaliser.
“They had some good possession, some good spells without really hurting us, but we always looked a threat on the transition going forward.
“I thought second half we played some really good football when the game opened up and if we’d have been a bit more clinical in that final third it could have been three or four.”
