The result sees the Latics edge closer towards Championship safety after it was last week announced that the club had been placed into administration.

"What a tough week. Not just for me, not just for the players, but for Wigan Athletic Football Club and the town,” cook explained post-match. “It's probably best not speaking about the situation we find ourselves in, so I'll just concentrate tonight on thanking our supporters.

"We're well aware of what's going on. We're well aware of what our supporters and our local MP [Lisa Nandy] are doing for everyone connected to Wigan Athletic.

"Jonathan Jackson hasn't stopped working despite being made redundant, Darren Royle our executive chairman. These people are just working and working, Louise Kerrigan, Andy Birch, everyone is working so hard.

"To see it and to see the redundancies really hurts us, so tonight, what could we give to the fans and the people? We could give them a win, no matter how we did it, just win. I'm so pleased for the players that they delivered that for the supporters.”
