Live blog: Wigan Athletic v Accrington Stanley

Flashpoint here as Josh Magennis is clattered in mid air...the Latics players all incensed, run straight over, Callum Lang at the lino...only a yellow given...usually you can tell from players’ reactions...they felt that was a bad one. Thankfully Magennis is okay.

Hang on the ball’s hit the referee there and Accrington are allowed to play on. He doesn’t know the laws? Leam standing apoplectic in the technical area, arms out. Thankfully comes to nothing.

SECOND HALF IS UNDER WAY

2-0 to Latics and that will do...

HT Latics 2 Accrington 0.

Took the hosts half an hour to burst into life, but goals from Joe Bennett and Josh Magennis have them ahead...and top of the table as things stand.

Blimey that didn’t miss by much...long-range free-kick from Ethan Hamilton, caught the top pf the wall, fizzed towards the top corner and just too high. Not sure Ben Amos was getting there.

Max Power with the cross, pinpoint header from Josh Magennis, three in four at club level. 2-0 Latics.

Goal 2-0 Latics, Josh Magennis!

Makes up for that earlier miss - and how! Free-kick, 25 yards, over the wall and into the top corner. Joe Bennett. 1-0 Latics.

Goal 1-0 Latics, what a free-kick from Joe Bennett!

What a miss. Break from Latics, Tendayi Darikwa cross to the back stick, and Joe Bennett has to score. He doesn’t. Nods it wide from six yards.
