Match Recap

The night started brightly for Latics, with the home side enjoying early dominance. The breakthrough came in the 32nd minute when Thelo Aasgaard coolly slotted past Burton’s keeper, following a precise pass from Dale Taylor. However, the lead was short-lived as Jon Dadi Bodvarsson pounced on a rebound just two minutes later to equalise for Burton.

The second half saw Latics continue to press for a winner, with Taylor hitting the post and Jon Mellish coming close on his home debut. Despite Wigan’s efforts, it was Burton who found the decisive goal. In the 59th minute, Owen Dodgson’s pinpoint cross set up Rumarn Burrell to score the winner.

Substitutes Silko Thomas and Joe Hungbo added energy late on, but Burton’s defence held firm to secure the win in front of their small travelling support of 46 fans.

Key Takeaways

• Star Performer: Thelo Aasgaard – Another goal for the in-form forward.
• Attendance: 7,553 (45 away fans).
• Next Fixture: Latics host Bristol Rovers on Saturday.
