Wigan 1-1 Wycombe: Anthony Stewart's late leveller keeps Chairboys' unbeaten start intact
Wednesday 18 August 2021 08:21, UK
Anthony Stewart maintained Wycombe's unbeaten start to their Sky Bet League One campaign with a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Wigan.
Callum Lang had seemingly secured the Latics the points when he fired home his first goal of the season two minutes into the second half.
But defender Stewart headed home Sullay Kaikai's corner in the 91st minute to clinch a last-gasp point at the DW Stadium.
Athletic stopper Ben Amos did well to deny Garath McCleary a third league goal in as many games after he broke away.
Former Sunderland striker Charlie Wyke missed a great chance and Chairboys' goalkeeper David Stockdale did well seconds later to deny Jordan Jones after he pounced on a mistimed back pass.
