Mark Robins tipped his cap to Viktor Johnasson and his willing defenders for their role in Stoke City\u2019s win at Sheffield Wednesday.<\/a><\/p>\n Reigning player of the year Johansson, the 26-year-old Sweden number one, produced three stellar moments<\/a> in the second-half at Hillsborough to help Stoke on their way to a 3-0 victory.<\/p>\n He saved with his feet to stop compatriot Svante Ingelsson from close range before bouncing up straightaway to deal with a drive from Liam Palmer. Minutes later he made a stunning flying stop to keep out an overhead kick from Barry Bannan.<\/p>\n It was the Bannan effort in particular which caught the eye but Robins was impressed with how his outfield players were ready to defend their box too.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a brilliant save,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were a few saves that he made, including a double save when Ingelsson had a shot and then Palmer. We kept it out and when it wasn\u2019t Johansson we were throwing bodies in front. (Tatsuki) Seko, in the first half, threw his body on the line.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve had a right go, Sheffield Wednesday. We knew they would. They made it really difficult for Leicester City last week and for us to come here and take three points at this stage is really pleasing.\u201d<\/p>\n Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL package<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
