Live blog: Wigan Athleic v MK Dons

Updated 19:47 BST

TEAM NEWS

Latics 1 MK Dons 2.Not sure Latics can have many complaints about that, got off to a flyer but visitors more than hit back, and if anything could have added another.

Stephen Humphrys for Tom Bayliss.

Gavin Massey and Jordan Jones on for Callum Lang and James McClean.

Leam, James Beattie and Rob Kelly deep in conversation...time for subs...what are we thinking...?

MK left-back gets booked for time-wasting on a throw-in...not before time...

And that’s why Max Power’s in the side, sensational cross from the right and unfortunately no-one in blue and white can get on the end of it. Corner.

MK almost in again, lovely passing move and only a desperate slide from Callum Lang scoops the ball away from their striker, who was in on goal. How crucial could that be?!

Blimey...MK free kick towards the far post just needs a touch and it’s 3-1...fortunately no-one gets one and out for a goal kick. Big let-off that.

Second half under way

Tweeted earlier that this wouldn’t be easy, good side MK Dons...and they’ve been allowed to look very tonight for most of the first half. Jordan Cousins possibly having his best game of the year, sat in the stand. Big test for Latics, this.

Crowd here is 8,351 with 187 from MK. Fair play them all, horrible day/night to travel.

Plenty of booing following the goal, crowd (and Leam) thought there was a foul on Keane in the build-up...I’m not so sure it was...and still had to be scored after that. Being told it was defo an OG.

Goal 2-1 MK Dons, cross from the right, several stretching, someone gets a touch to it...might have even been an own goal...

Equaliser MK Dons, Peter Kioso header, no chance for Amos. 1-1.

Plymouth already 2-0 up on Bolton, but that goal takes Latics above Wycombe into second spot in-play...

Goal 1-0 Latics, Will Keane cross and Charlie Wyke slots home from close range.

Suffice to say, what a huge opportunity this is for Tom Bayliss to put himself up the order...none of the ‘fringe’ players have done much in the cup games to nudge the manager, but even if Jordan Cousins is out for a couple of weeks that’s four games to possibly play himself in...
