Wigan took a significant step towards League One survival as they beat second-bottom Northampton 3-1 at Sixfields.
The Latics never looked back after Callum Wright's early opener to move up to 18th and leave Northampton on the brink of relegation. The Cobblers, who have now won just once in 21 league games, could be officially relegated next weekend.
Wright Punishes a Costly Miss
The home side missed a big chance to open the scoring when Cameron McGeehan failed to beat Sam Tickle, and they were immediately punished as Wright finished well from Matt Smith's through ball after 15 minutes.
