Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan was in incredible form on Saturday as he scored a spectacular long-range goal against MK Dons in a League One match at the Stadium MK in Milton Keynes. The visitors were already leading 2-0 when Bannan got the ball near the halfway line in the 30th-minute. The midfielder was urged by fans to shoot and he took only one touch and scored a long-range screamer from 40 yards away from the opposition goal. His effort lobbed over the MK Dons goalkeeper Jamie Cumming and found itself in the back of the net. Sheffield won the game 3-2, with Saido Berahino (10′) and Lee Gregory (20′) scoring the other goals. Meanwhile, Troy Parrott (40′) and Scott Twine (90+6′) scored a goal each for MK Dons.
