Sheffield Wednesday star Josh Windass has scored from inside his own half during the Owls' Championship clash against Derby County.

Windass had scored eight goals in the current Championship season before the clash, including three from his last three games.

And he helped Danny Rohl's side to get 2025 off to the perfect start with a 4-2 win over Derby - and the goal he scored was something out of the very top drawer.

From inside his own half, Windass brought down Michael Smith's flick on from inside his own half before knocking it forward 10 yards.

He then ran on to the ball and produced an incredible effort that cleared the head of Derby goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom - who was stood just outside the penalty area - and into the back of the net without bouncing.

Check it out below.

The strike put Wednesday 2-0 up after club captain Barry Bannan had given them the lead in the first half.

Djibril Gassama then made it 3-0 just two minutes later, before Paul Warne's side threatened a comeback with a goal from Jerry Yates.

But Anthony Musaba made it four goals in 13 minutes to seal the win for Wednesday, with Ebou Adams - who went viral for one of the misses of season earlier this campaign - scoring what proved to be a consolation for Derby in injury time.

The win takes Wednesday three points off the play-off places after 25 games, with Rohl - now the Championship's youngest manager again after Stoke sacked Narcis Pelach - continuing to grow his reputation as one of the game's most talented young coaches.

The German inherited a Wednesday side that were seven points from safety when he was appointed in October 2023, but guided them comfortably to safety despite off-field drama that included Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri asking fans to fund the payment of a £2 million tax bill.
