Nine-man Wigan Athletic pay the price for indiscipline as Stockport County come back to win
Wigan Athletic twice led before losing 4-2 at Stockport County, with both Steven Sessegnon and Maleace Asamoah Jnr being sent off in the second period.
Joe Taylor got Latics off to the perfect start when he pounced on a defensive error to put the visitors ahead with only two minutes gone.
The lead only lasted three minutes, before Oliver Norwood’s free-kick was headed home by Brad Hills.
Taylor was at it again on 11 minutes though, heading home Fraser Murray’s cross at the near post.
Sam Tickle made a brilliant save to deny Ethan Pye, but Stockport found a second leveller four minutes before half-time when Jack Diamond’s cross went in via a combination of Adama Sidebeh and Sessegnon.
That wasn’t the low point for Sessesgnon, as he picked up a second yellow card on the hour mark to leave his side a man down for the last half an hour.
Morgan Fox produced a superb block to deny Sidebeh, but Kyle Wootton headed County ahead for the first time two minutes into added time.
And after Asamoah Jnr picked up a straight red card on the near touchline, Wootton added his second and County’s fourth in the 100th minute.
