Right from the off, Latics were on their game at both ends of the field.

And the only downside at the interval was that they only led by George Johnston's cool header midway through the half, after good work down the left from Viv Solomon-Otabor.

Callum Lang settled a few nerves when he doubled the lead on 64 minutes, with a bullet header off Gavin Massey's cross.

And Joe Dodoo opened his Wigan account from close range with 20 minutes to go, after Solomon-Otabor laid it on a plate for him.

At the other end, Latics rode their luck at times, with Harry Darling and Scott Fraser hitting the woodwork in either half.

But anything other than a home win - Wigan's first in three months - would have been a travesty after one of the best performances of the campaign.

Latics climb to second-bottom of the table, but are now only a point behind fifth-bottom Swindon - who visit the DW on the final day.
