Wigan Athletic: How they rated v Leeds United
Wigan Athletic (4-2-3-1):
Christian Walton: 8 - Didn't put a foot - or glove - wrong again, made a string of fine saves to keep Leeds at bay and had the penalty, which hit the post, covered as well.
Nathan Byrne: 8 - Made sure Leeds got no joy down his flank, and got forward as much as possible to bolster the midfield.

Hide AdChey Dunkley: 8 - Stood up strong despite being the last centre-back standing for almost an hour, guided rookie Naismith through the ropes, back to his best.
Cedric Kipre: Desperately unlucky to see red only 14 minutes in after doing incredibly well to get back and make a superb clearance off the line.
Antonee Robinson: 8 - Helped Latics overcome the sending-off by pushing forward to become an extra man offensively, lung-busting runs provided valuable respite.
Reece James: 8 - Passed the latest test of his development with flying colours, helped win the midfield battle, hit the bar with a brilliant free-kick and should have won a penalty.

Hide AdSam Morsy: 8 - Tireless and tenacious in the engine room, got at the opposition without crossing the line, and slowed the game down at crucial periods.
Gavin Massey: 9 - Ran his blood to water to make up for the numerical disadvantage, and provided the clinical finishes that proved the difference.
Lee Evans: 8 - 8 - Boyhood Leeds fan would have enjoyed this moment, created the equaliser with a deft flick, used possession well and a fine work-rate.
Kal Naismith: 9 - Forced to drop back into an emergency central defensive role and looked like he'd been playing there for years, versatility proving invaluable this term.

Hide AdLeon Clarke: 8 - Bullied the Leeds defence despite their numerical advantage, laid on the second goal - and did parent club Sheffield United a massive favour.
Subs:
Jonas Olsson (for Clarke, 67): 7 - Bolstered the backline for the final quarter and helped see the side over the line.
Nick Powell (for Massey, 75): 7 - Took over from the tiring Massey, did little more than run around but that was very much his brief.
Joe Garner (for James, 90): Time-wasting switch to run down the clock.
