Lowly Fleetwood return to winnings ways in six-goal thriller against Wigan
Posted Sunday, March 03, 2024 by PA
Fleetwood gave their League One survival hopes a boost with a 4-2 victory against Wigan.
The relegation-battling Cod Army secured their first win in six matches for a vital three points at Highbury.
Neither side could take control in the early stages but Bosun Lawal fired in a thunderous volley to give Fleetwood the lead, before Stephen Humphry levelled the scores just three minutes later.
Thelo Aasgaard then fired the Latics into the lead in the 26th minute but Lawal notched his second goal of the game to ensure the match was even at the interval.
Fleetwood then took the game by the scruff of the neck after the break. Midfielder Gavin Kilkenny put the hosts in front with his first goal of the season, a deflected effort which bamboozled Wigan stopper Sam Tickle.
Striker Jayden Stockley hit the fourth after 61 minutes as he secured the points by heading home a Ryan Broom cross to the delight of the home supporters.
