Nathan Broadhead took over from Callum Lang at the interval, and the home side raised their game markedly.

Broadhead levelled the scores himself with a close-range header off James McClean’s corner on 63 minutes.

But as Latics pushed for a winner, they were punished three times in the last 12 minutes.

First, Oscar Estupinan fired home with the help of a deflection off Jack Whatmough.

Then substitute Tyler Smith added a quickfire brace to rub salt into Wigan wounds.

Latics’ attention now switches to the FA Cup, ahead of next weekend’s trip to Luton.
