Live blog: Fleetwood v Wigan Athletic

FT Fleetwood 2 Latics 3.

As five-goal-thrillers-from-two-nil-down-that-see-your-side-go-top-of-the-table go, it was pretty routine. Report and reaction to follow.

Callum Lang back from a ban and he’s back on the yellow trail...six for the season.

Goal 3-2 Latics, Curtis Tilt with the bullet header!

Don’t think I can ever remember a team having so many players who’ve gone down and needed the physio on...quite ridiculous now this.

Goal 2-2, Will Keane with the header from close range...22 minutes to win it now!

So close to 2-2, Power cross is headed against his own bar by a home defender, and Lang can only volley wide. All Latics now.

Goal Latics, great ball from Tom Bayliss, Callum Lang pokes it past the goalie. Game on! 1-2.

Gwion Edwards on for Jason Kerr, back to 4-2-3-1. Still 35 minutes to go.

Latics looking really shaky at the back all of a sudden, and Kerr does well to stop a shot from Morton that he never should have been able to get off.

Goal 2-0 Fleetwood, Morton penalty straight down the middle, Amos dives to his left. Mountain to climb now.

Penalty Fleetwood. McClean’s backpass is short, Morton gets there just before Amos, and ref points to the spot.

Too early to be looking at the bench? Second half is under way...

HT Fleetwood 1 Latics 0.

Latics don’t play in the league for 18 days after tonight...and not the performance/result they want to be stewing on for two and half weeks. Still there for the taking this one.

Tom Bayliss having a very good game in the midfield, providing plenty of energy...

Fifth booking of the campaign for Tendayi Darikwa. He’ll miss the visit of Oxford on November 20.

What a strike from Tendayi Darikwa, must have been 30 yards out, another fantastic save from Cairns at full stretch. Corner.

How has that not gone in? Brilliant save from Cairns to keep out Wyke’s header, and Keane heads the rebound wide from bang in front.

Joe Garner heads over the Wigan bar, really should at least hit the target.
