Jake Buxton headed in a late winner to earn Wigan a vital league win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. After another scrappy game the defender rose highest to power in Max Power''s corner and move the Latics into 22nd place, just two points from safety. Wolves went close through Dave Edwards, but Wigan goalkeeper Matt Gilks produced a great save to palm the Wales midfielder''s header away.The hosts have now lost three straight Championship matches and stay 18th. Wolves struggled to fashion chances despite enjoying 59% possession.
Bright Enobakhare threatened, but Paul Lambert''s side lacked cutting edge in the final third and were punished late on from a set-piece. Buxton put Wigan ahead from just their second shot on target and Gilks tipped over Man of the Match Connor Ronan''s 30-yard effort to make sure of the points.
