FT Wigan 3-0 Stoke

That's full-time and it's an almost-perfect performance from Wigan this evening.

They retain their 100% record since the restart and look closer towards survival.

For Stoke, however, they are now looking a vital fixture this weekend against Barnsley as the threat of relegation gets ever closer for Michael O'Neill's side.

HALF-TIME: Wigan 1-0 Stoke

That's half-time and it's Wigan who are in front at the DW thanks to Kieron Dowell's goal just before the break.

A big team talk is needed from Michael O'Neill if Stoke are to get anything from this.
