Social media reaction: Birmingham City 1 Wigan Athletic 1

Nick Powell scored as Wigan Athletic claimed a draw against Birmingham City in their penultimate game of the season

Wigan fell behind within the opening two minutes after a defensive error allowed Lukas Jutkiewicz to score.

But Nick Powell’s deflected strike cancelled out Jutkiewicz’s opener on the stroke of half-time.

Latics introduced Joe Gelhardt at the break after Josh Windass picked up a knock, and the academy graduate impressed with his fearless attitude.

Jensen Weir also came on in the final 10 minutes to make his league debut, but the game fizzled out and both sides were forced to split the spoils at St Andrew's.

Latics increased their points tally to 49 after extending their unbeaten run to four games.

Wigan fans and players’ hailed the two young debutants on social media after the draw.
