Live blog: Fleetwood v Wigan Athletic
FULL-TIME
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.
TIME-WASTING
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.
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.
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
Penalty Fleetwood. McClean’s backpass is short, Morton gets there just before Amos, and ref points to the spot.
HALF-TIME
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.
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.
