Charlie Wyke and Stephen Humphrys each bagged a brace as the Latics, who had been docked eight points, moved into positive territory thanks to their third victory.
Peterborough also slipped up as Mitchell Pinnock netted the only goal to earn victory for neighbours Northampton, while Stevenage had Nathan Thompson sent off and slumped to a 2-0 loss at Reading, with Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan netting both goals.
Those results allowed Cambridge to take over as leaders as late goals from substitutes Fejiri Okenabirhie and Sullay Kaikai secured a 2-0 win at home to Bristol Rovers.
Oxford are also on nine points after a 3-1 victory at Barnsley made it three wins in a row.
The Tykes were their own worst enemy as Mael de Gevigney gave away an early penalty, which Cameron Brannagan converted, before a Jordan Williams own goal put the visitors in control.
Port Vale picked up their first away win since New Year's Day with a 3-2 victory at Charlton as Funso Ojo's tap-in settled an end-to-end contest.
Derby striker Martyn Waghorn's second goal of the week clinched a 1-0 win at home to Fleetwood while Ethan Hamilton's first goal for Lincoln was enough to beat Shrewsbury.
Goals from Ryan Trevitt and Demitri Mitchell ensured Exeter's long trip to Carlisle resulted in a 2-0 win but the games at Blackpool, Portsmouth and Wycombe all ended goalless.
