Live blog: Wigan Athletic v Sunderland

Crowd here at the DW is a fantastic 20,136, with 4,715 from Sunderland.

Biggest positive we can say at this point is as bad as Latics have been - worst 50 minutes of the season? - they’re still in this. And as we’ve seen so often, more than capable of fighting back. Have to score next though.

Another mistake at the back allows Alex Pritchard a free hit from 15 yards, and it’s just past the post.

Inches away from 3-0 within two minutes of the restart...Ross Stewart drills the ball through the six-yard box and no-one can get a touch.

HT Latics 0 Sunderland 2.Hosts stunned by a goal after barely a minute, with Sunderland adding it to it from the spot. Latics not really threatened the visiting goal as yet.

Flare thrown on from the away end, hits Carl Winchester, who limps back to the halfway line. Stewards and police now heading into the away end.

Ross Stewart converts, 2-0 Sunderland.

Penalty Sunderland, Tilt on Stewart, was as well.

Absolute privilege watching Callum Lang develop from promising teenager to genuine first-team star. He’s well up for this today.

Sounds like IRA chanting from the away end...as ever, nothing will get done by the authorities...
