Wigan 2-1 Sunderland: Latics strike back to dent Black Cats' promotion hopes
Tuesday 13 April 2021 20:22, UK
Sunderland's automatic promotion hopes suffered a massive blow after Wigan came from behind to win 2-1 at the DW Stadium.
Latics picked up their second win in four days to move out of the relegation zone with five matches to go.
But after back-to-back setbacks, the Black Cats look like they may have to make do with the play-offs.
It looked good for the visitors when Aiden McGeady's cross was turned in by Charlie Wyke in the 32nd minute, with the Wigan defence to a man waiting for an offside flag that never came.
But Wigan were perhaps unfortunate to find themselves behind, and levelled through Will Keane 10 minutes later.
