Bristol City 2 Wigan Athletic 2: Social media reaction

Substitute Anthony Pilkington scored at the death to help Wigan Athletic earn a vital point at Ashton Gate.

Reece James’ spectacular long-range effort had given Latics a deserved 37th minute lead before Bristol City scored twice in three-minutes to turn the game on its head.

It was looking increasingly likely that Latics’ misery on the road would continue but substitute Pilkington stabbed home a 93rd-minute equaliser to rescue a point.

With Rotherham United, Millwall and Birmingham all winning, it could prove to be an priceless result at the end of the campaign.

Latics moved to 19th place following the 2-2 draw, and still sit two points above the drop zone with six games remaining.

Wigan fans acknowledged the importance of Anthony Pilkington’s last-gasp equaliser on social media.

@SteFromWigan: “A point was the least we deserved today, gutted we didn't hang on for all three! Cracking away performance that though #wafc.”

@suzc90: “Massive massive point! It’s the least we deserved. Onto Hull on Wednesday now #wafc #utt #keepthefaith.”

@AS_Caspey: “Would've taken a point before hand, but yet again it could've been so much more. Other results not helped today but effectively 3 points clear due to goal difference. 2 tough games to come now #wafc.”
