The Sky Blues boss was keen to be respectful of the Owls' plight, which was highlighted with a minipitch invasion after 10 minutes, when they were already 1-0 down following a third-minute opener from Brandon Thomas-Asante.

Wednesday fans called for their owner Dejphon Chansiri to get out of their club, while around 40-50 spilled onto the pitch and the game was brought to a halt for about five minutes while stewards cleared the playing surface.
