Sheffield Wednesday 0 - Doncaster 1: Federico Macheda plagues Dave Jones
FEDERICO MACHEDA piled the pressure on Wednesday boss Dave Jones as his strike settled a pulsating South Yorkshire derby.
Jones desperately wanted to sign Manchester United’s Italian, but was thwarted by Donny chief Paul Dickov.
And Macheda, 22, followed up a brace on his debut last week by heading home James Coppinger’s cross in the 71st minute to dump Wednesday into the bottom three.
Dickov, who hopes to extend Macheda’s loan, said: “Federico is not fully match fit but has the knack of being in the right place at the right time. It’s what every boss wants.”
But an irate Jones said: “It was a smash-and-grab. It was probably their first attempt they had. We dominated and dealt with everything apart from the goal.”
