Live blog: FT Wigan Athletic 3 Gillingham 2
FUL-TIME
FT Latics 3 Gillingham 2.
Far more tense than it needed to be. But up the table-topping ‘Tics!
WHAT A TURNAROUND
Seriously, 5/6-0 would have flattered Gillingham at half-time. It’s now 2-2 with less than 20 minutes to go.
Sub for Latics...Jason Kerr for Gwion Edwards...three at the back for the last 25 minutes...Darikwa and McClean wing-backs...
CHANCES
Latics go close twice in the space of a minute...first Edwards’ shot is touched behind for a corner...then Whatmough header at the far post is cleared from literally on the goalline...
HALF-TIME
HT Latics 2 Gillingham 0.
Two goals, hit bar, hit post, one miraculously off the line. Gillingham poor but Latics have been at it from the off.
Jeez how on earth is that not 3-0...Humphrys cuts off a weak backpass, slides it across to Will Keane, who has an open goal from eight yards apart from one defender on the line...smashes it towards the top corner and the defender somehow heads it away. Incredible defending!
Gwion Edwards too quick for the Gills left-back who has to take him down as he advances into the box. Yellow.
Almost 3-0 Latics, free shot for Will Keane and it’s touched round - possibly off the post - by the goalie.
