Wigan boss Paul Cook hailed the “never-say-die attitude” of his players after late goals from substitutes Lee Evans and Michael Jacobs secured a 2-0 win against Blackburn at the DW Stadium. Latics, now five points clear of the relegation zone in 17th place, extended their unbeaten run to an eighth game. Cook said: “I genuinely felt Blackburn had taken control in the second half, and we go and score that goal at a vital time. “The goal late on gives it, in my opinion, a totally false scoreline – it was never a 2-0, comfortable win. When he failed to hold Antonee Robinson’s cross and Evans scored, Walton was under some pressure from Kieffer Moore.
