Laura Woods destroys Twitter user after sexist comment following Sheffield Wednesday win

Laura Woods issued a savage response to a troll that sent her a vulgar tweet following Sheffield Wednesday’s play-off victory.

The talkSPORT host took to social media after the Owls’ sensational penalty-shootout victory against Peterborough on Thursday evening.

Trailing 4-0 from the first leg, Darren Moore’s side scored in the dying seconds to force extra time at Hillsborough.

After a pulsating 30 minutes and with Wednesday leading 5-1 on the night, Jack Hunt stepped up to convert the winning penalty to send Wednesday to Wembley and a chance at promotion to the Championship.

Like many, Woods was astounded by the Owls’ incredible comeback and subsequently tweeted: “That’s Unbelievable #SheffieldWednesday.”

However, as is often the case on social media, Woods was the victim of an abhorrent, sexist reply to her original tweet from a Peterborough fan.

But clearly the troll had no idea of Woods’ ever-popular banter levels and the host hit back in style, with a brilliant dig of her own.

She responded: “Except it’s you that’s been bent over tonight eh”

The lack of response following Woods’ hammer blow suggested that the fan knew it was time to log off for the evening as followers of the talkSPORT host lapped up her comedic reply.

And to make matters worse for the troll, his side will once again be playing League One football despite appearing to have one foot in the Wembley final.

Sheffield Wednesday await the winners of Friday night’s other semi-final between Barnsley and Bolton.
