Football League Wrap: Wigan seal play-off spot

Callum McManaman scored after just three minutes at St Andrew's to move Uwe Rosler's side four points clear of seventh-placed Brighton and Hove Albion with just one game remaining.

Wigan require just a point from their final match of the season - which comes at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday - to ensure they finish fifth, which would lead to a play-off clash with QPR.

In Tuesday's other Championship fixture, Charlton Athletic secured survival with a 3-1 home win over mid-table Watford.

Callum Harriott opened the scoring for Jose Riga's Charlton on 22 minutes, before Troy Deeney levelled matters for the away side after an hour.

Elsewhere, Chris Porter's late equaliser earned Sheffield United a 1-1 draw at Oldham Athletic.
