Report: Stockport County 0 Wigan Athletic 0 - Goalless draw as Latics extend unbeaten run

It was the club’s first trip to Edgeley Park since 2003, debuting their third kit as Shaun Maloney’s side picked up a point on the road with a 0-0 result.

Thelo Aasgaard had the ball in the back in the net in the dying stages of the first half, only for his effort to be disallowed due to handball.

It was a game of two halves, with Latics edging the first half before the hosts piled on the pressure in the second 45.

Retaining his place up front following his double in the win over Peterborough United, Dale Taylor forced the first save of the game with a clean strike on 17 minutes, with Stockport’s Corey Addai at his best to parry the shot away.

Latics thought they had broken the deadlock just before the break when star Aasgaard converted from a corner chance, only for the official to pull it back for handball as the score remained 0-0 at half-time.

The hosts came out on top in the second 45, with Latics forced into numerous blocks.

Sam Tickle then produced a superb save on 54 minutes to deny Louie Barry, who was released down the left by Nick Powell, and the number one was back in action just 10 minutes later with a low shot from Odin Bailey.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper performed well to celebrate another England Under-21s call-up with his sixth consecutive clean sheet, while chances were limited at the other end of the pitch.

Maloney’s men were forced into scrambling defence in extra time to keep the scores 0-0, including a vital block from Will Aimson.
