Wigan Athletic's stunning performance stats that increased chances of avoiding relegation - Championship data round-up
The Championship's enthralling relegation battle took further twists and turns last weekend, and there's now less than ten points separating the bottom nine sides in a tightly-packed league table.
Here's a look at some key statistics from sides embroiled in the relegation battle last weekend, as well as the individual players who shone or struggled elsewhere in the Championship.

1. Huddersfield Town striker dazzles in 4-0 win over Charlton
The Addicks found Karlan Grant simply unplayable last weekend. Both his shots on target hit the back of the net, and he contributed two key passes. He also recovered on four occasions, demonstrating his relentless work rate.

2. Hull City hammered on passing and possession against Leeds United
The Tigers were put to the sword by Leeds, who ran out 4-0 winners. The stats highlight just how dominant the Whites were, with Marcelo Bielsa's side having 67% of possession, and 79% total pass accuracy to Hull's 65%

3. Barnsley painful finishing lowlight in Reading loss
Despite having the upper hand in possession, passing accuracy and tackling, the Tykes' profligacy in front of goal cost them dearly in a 2-0 loss to the Royals. Just six of their 23 shots hit the target - shocking.

4. Stoke City struggling with the ball at their feet
The Potters were dominant in the air against the Hatters - Sam Vokes in particular, who won nine aerial challenges - but on the ground they couldn't hack it - they were robbed of the ball 12 times, and had just 36% of possession.
