Reserves victorious over Toon

A 20th minute strike from Julius Aghahowa put the Latics in the lead, before Figueroa's 60th minute finish sealed the game.

Reserve team manager Keith Bertschin was pleased with the victory. He told the club's official website: "It's difficult to single anybody out really. Aggy was very lively, Erik Hagen looked solid alongside Andreas Granqvist, but really they all put a great shift in, which is very encouraging."

Wigan Athletic Reserves: Saunders, Moore, Figueroa, Hagen, Granqvist, Cwyka, Montrose, Skoko, Olembe, Bouaouzan (Kupisz 75), Aghahowa.
