Wigan 1-1 Burton: Joe Powell earns Brewers point as League One status secured
Saturday 24 April 2021 18:39, UK
Burton secured their spot in Sky Bet League One for another year and Wigan took another step towards safety after a 1-1 draw at the DW Stadium.
The visitors took the lead after 16 minutes when Joe Powell curled a brilliant free-kick over the Wigan wall.
But Wigan raised their game and were back in it eight minutes before half-time, when Lee Evans' corner was headed home by the in-form Will Keane.
In a game of little goalmouth action, one more goal was always likely to prove to be the winner.
But Wigan goalkeeper Jamie Jones hardly had to make a save worthy of the name.
