Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen commended his side after their 2-1 loss at Derby County.

Ben Brereton-Diaz gave the Rams the lead before Jerry Yates headed Wednesday level soon after.

But Matt Clarke got what proved to be the winner shortly before half time as the Owls lost for the 13th successive game.

Financially-troubled Wednesday have now gone 30 games without a league win - just the fifth side in EFL history to have such a record.

"I think we competed really, really well. We started the game really well, we were really strong, organised," he told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"We have spoken about that - we could let the centre-back have the ball a little bit more because we know a big part of the game from them is a lot of crossing, and I think we closed down for this a lot.

"After 1-0 we came strong back in the game, and I think we drew 1-1 [which was] very, very deserved.

"Then, the rest of the first half, we were organised, had some good transition then I think second half was a very equal.

"You could see the boys did everything to get a result here."
