Sheffield Wednesday end a run of three successive wins with a goalless draw at Huddersfield Town in a keenly-contested Yorkshire derby.

A fierce Yorkshire derby between Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday ended all square this afternoon as both sides were forced to settle for a point.

Jeremy Helan nearly put the Owls ahead in the first few minutes, forcing Alex Smithies to save smartly from a tight angle.

Helan was then given a yellow card for diving despite his angry protests for a penalty kick.

The French winger was then at the centre of confusion as he appeared to be given a second yellow card without being ordered off the field.

Matt Hammill joined the Wednesday winger in the book for a late lunge as both sides stayed committed throughout the first 45 minutes.

David Prutton fired wide for the visitors from the edge of the area before the break after strong work from Gary Madine in a wide area.

Michail Antonio and Keith Southern both came close as the second half made a bright start before petering out.

Wednesday brought on Mamady Sidibe but he could not find a repeat of his winner at Bolton Wanderers on Boxing Day.

Antonio looked the most likely in the closing stages, but his pace failed to produce a goal as a lively encounter ended in stalemate.
