How social media reacted: Wigan Athletic 1 Millwall 0

Joe Garner’s eighth goal of the season helped Wigan Athletic end their 2018-19 Championship campaign in style.

Garner was at hand to tap home in the 14th minute after David Martin could only parry Nick Powell’s fierce strike into his path.

Wigan Athletic finished the season in 18th place following their 1-0 victory over Neil Harris’ side.

Latics fans and players saluted captain for the day Reece James on social media for his outstanding performances throughout his one-year loan spell from Chelsea.
