The Sheffield Wednesday man was criticised by some of the Hillsborough faithful for his display for the Owls, though Garry Monk’s charges still went on to win.
A number of Sheffield Wednesday fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Sam Hutchinson’s performance for the Owls in their Championship win today.
The 30-year-old, who was on eight yellow cards this season ahead of the Hillsborough side’s trip to Charlton, once again found himself in the referee’s book for a challenge on Erhun Oztumer 25 yards out, though in his defence it was a little harsh.
Hutchinson had to tread the tightrope afterwards and was lucky not to get a second yellow for a later challenge on Oztumer, while further up the pitch he miscued a good chance just after the hour mark.
His afternoon came to an end on 77 minutes when Garry Monk took him off for Massimo Luongo, and during and after the game, a number of fans had their say on his performance on social media:
Wednesday took the lead at The Valley through Steven Fletcher’s superb 17th-minute header from Barry Bannan’s cross, only for Macauley Bonne to restore parity nine minutes later.
The Owls regained the advantage when Fletcher scored from the penalty spot on 80 minutes after Jacob Murphy was adjudged to have been brought down by Oztumer.
Monk’s charges ultimately sealed their first win in six games in the fourth minute of injury time when Bannan again crossed for the unmarked Atdhe Nuhiu to head home at the far post.
