A rousing second-half effort from Wigan Athletic proved to be in vain as League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers held on for a 1-0 victory at the Brick Community Stadium.

The visitors led on 11 minutes when Joe Low headed Daniel Harvie’s right-wing corner into the Latics net.

Silko Thomas' cross was steered over the top from close range by substitute Dale Taylor, who then forced a good save from Franco Ravizzoli in the Wycombe goal.

A Toby Sibbick cross was headed against the Wycombe goalkeeper by Thelo Aasgaard at full stretch, and another header from the Norway Under-21 international, this time off a Tyrese Francois cross, forced an absolutely superb save from Ravizzoli.

With Latics throwing everything at an equaliser, Wycombe almost added a second in stoppage-time, only for Brandon Hanlan to be denied by a blinding save from Tickle.
