A Greg Cunningham own goal have the Latics the lead in the first half but an improved display in the second half, and goals from Daniel Johnson from the spot and Tom Cannon, gave Ryan Lowe’s side the win.
The points took North End into the top half, into 12th place, and this is how we rated the players on the day...
13. Robbie Brady - 5
A 10 minute substitute cameo that started with trying to get a reaction out of Sinani - resulting in a yellow card a piece - and ended with a late tackle and his marching orders. Now misses Coventry. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
14. Patrick Bauer - 7
Was only on for a few minutes but in that time came up with a couple of really important headers in a crowded penalty area under pressure. Hard to get to game speed so quickly but he did so when it was needed. Photo: CameraSport - Paul Greenwood
15. Jordan Storey - 6
On in stoppage time, might not have touched the ball but was prepared to do a job. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
