(Reuters) - Sheffield Wednesday are a sleeping giant who have been woken up, manager Carlos Carvalhal said after his side took a step closer to the Premier League with a 3-1 aggregate win in the play-off semi-final against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Owls managed to protect their two-goal advantage from the first leg after securing a 1-1 draw against Brighton on Monday and are now only a match away from a return to England's top-flight after a 16-year absence.
