Latics were ahead with only 108 seconds on the clock, as Matt Smith's lovely chip split the home defence, allowing Aasgaard to finish coolly under the goalkeeper.

Aasgaard made it 3-0 shortly after the restart, with a clinical header from a nice cross provided by the trialist who had started at right-back.
And Dion Rankine made it four on 54 minutes with a firm strike that found the net via the underside of the bar.
The crowd was also treated to a late cameo from former Tottenham and England midfielder Tom Huddlestone, who was recently appointed as first-team coach.
