Cambridge 2-2 Wigan: Latics fight back to earn draw
Tuesday 23 November 2021 23:28, UK
Wigan struck twice late on to salvage a 2-2 draw at Cambridge in Sky Bet League One.
Having trailed by two, Will Keane and Callum Lang netted in the final six minutes to earn a point.
Wigan had a great chance to open the scoring on 36 minutes when Tom Pearce's cross found Lang, whose effort was brilliantly kept out by Dimi Mitov.
Instead it was the hosts who took the lead a minute before the break when Jack Iredale's throw was worked into the box by James Brophy to Joe Ironside, who swivelled to fire a fine finish past Ben Amos.
