Wigan see off Accrington to regain pole position in League One
Posted Wednesday, April 06, 2022 by PA
Wigan regained leadership of Sky Bet League One for the first time since January in emphatic style thanks to a 3-0 home victory over Accrington.
The visitors enjoyed the better of the opening half hour, but were unable to find a breakthrough which would have put pressure on the home side.
Yeboah Amankwah fired wide and Matt Butcher forced a decent save from Ben Amos – and that seemed to be the wake-up call Wigan needed.
Joe Bennett should have opened the scoring but headed wide from Tendayi Darikwa’s cross.
But the left-back made amends with a brilliant free-kick that flew into the top corner eight minutes before half-time.
Five minutes later, Josh Magennis headed home Max Power’s inviting delivery to double the lead.
And Will Keane made it 3-0 on 57 minutes, following up to tap home after Accrington goalkeeper Toby Savin dropped a Power free-kick at his feet.
Darikwa and Bennett almost made it four, before Callum Lang hit the bar late on.
