Wigan and Middlesbrough share spoils in thriller

Wigan and Middlesbrough drew 2-2 in a dramatic Sky Bet Championship encounter at the DW Stadium.

Sam Morsy put the Latics ahead but after Chey Dunkley was sent off just after the hour for a second yellow card, Lewis Wing’s brace had the visitors in the lead within six minutes.

Harold Moukoudi’s own-goal 14 minutes from time then assured the points would be shared.

Wigan made the stronger start but it was Boro who first had the ball in the net, with Ashley Fletcher’s effort ruled out for offside.

From the resulting set-piece, Wing’s delivery caught a big deflection off the wall to wrong-foot Marshall and level the scores at 1-1.

We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
