A frantic second half comes to an end, as Latics put another point on the board. Two excellent saves from Christian Walton to keep out Morsy and Kipre.#wafc 🔵⚪️💚 pic.twitter.com/baiOwyEXRW — Wigan Athletic (@LaticsOfficial) December 23, 2019
Full time: Blackburn Rovers 0-0 Wigan Athletic
Wigan controlled what was a dire first half, with Rovers then coming firing out of the blocks after the interval and igniting an end-to-end, pulsating final fifteen minutes.
Blackburn move into 8th, while the Latics inch closer to safety, moving off the bottom with only a point separating them from 21st-placed Luton Town.

Half-time
Indeed, the Latics have been the better side, controlling possession and looking the silkier, more fluid outfit in possession. The busy, tenacious Windass has been a real threat buzzing in behind the Blackburn defence.

Wigan rooted in tragic winless rut
They have tamely drifted into the depths of the relation zone, hitting rock-bottom after Barnsley's win at The Den yesterday. Such wretched form undoubtedly leaves Cook's position in charge under lots of scrutiny, particularly with fellow relegation fighters Huddersfield and Barnsley benefiting greatly from a managerial change. They can, however, move out of the drop zone should they tak all three points at Ewood Park on Monday.
Rovers' revival
Yet less than two months later, Blackburn find themselves with 16 points from six games, and with the chance to move into 7th with a win by two or more goals tomorrow against rock-bottom Wigan.
Forward Bradley Dack has no doubt had a part to play in this resurgence, netting four goals in his last five matches. Behind him is the tidy young midfielder Lewis Travis, who has emerged as a fulcrum in that midfield, putting in a number of impressive performances. And at centre-half is Darragh Lenihan, undoubtedly in the best form of his Blackburn career so far.
