    Time:90'
    • Wigan Athletic
    • West Bromwich Albion
    • 90+2' There's the final whistle!! Wigan have won 2-1, and West Brom will be left to reflect on two golden opportunities they spurned when they led 1-0 at the start of the second half. A great win for the Lancastrians, though Tony Mowbray's men will be devastated by that defeat.
    • 90+1' It falls to Greening on the edge of the area...but he lashes the ball wide with his left foot!! Will that be the Baggies final chance?
    • 88' West Brom have the ball in the Wigna half now, though the home side have all hands on deck and all men behind the ball to protect their lead.
    • 85' GOAL! WIGAN MAY HAVE GRABBED A LATE WINNER!!! Fantastic header from Emerson Boyce!! Above the man on the line and straight into the top corner. West Brom will be sick as dogs.
    • 83' Miller does well to win West Brom a corner on the right hand side. Brunt whips it in...but Wigan get it clear.
    • 80' Boyce heads clear a corner, but it falls straight to Greening just inside the penalty area, and his vicious shot forced another smart save from the impressive Chris Kirkland.
    • 78' Bramble now makes an excellent tackle on Miller to go some way to redeeming himself for his earlier blunder.
    • 75 CLEARED OFF THE LINE!!! Superb save from Kirkland from a towering Olsson header in the area, and Boyce was on hand to hack the ball to safety from the rebound.
    • 69' Ryan Taylor is replaced by Melchiot. Taylor is not happy. He takes off his shirt and storms down the tunnel.
    • 64' Excellent defending from Olsson to foil a quick Wigan break. The home side have improved sinec their goal.
    • 61' GOAL!!! AN EQUALISER!!! Paul Robinson leaves a header back to his 'keeper woefully short, and Henri Camara acrobatically volleys home on the turn! Superbly taken goal, though one that is exceptionally harsh on West Brom.
    • 55' Wigan lose possession cheaply yet again in midfield, and West Brom break at speed. They send Morrison clear once again...but Kirkland denies his yet again!! Wigan have been an absolute shambles so far in this second half.
    • 54' Free-kick to Wigan on the edge of the box. Taylor whips it across the face of goal...AND DANGEROUSLY PAST THE POST! That was close.
    • 52' What a start to the second half it has been from West Brom. The Wigan defence has gone to pieces.
    • 51' James Morrison is sent clean through buy a lovely flock-on from Miller...he bears down on Kirkland...this should be 2-0...BUT NO! Kirkland saves with his feet!!
    • 49' An away win would do wonders for West Brom's confidence, especially given many pundits' questioned the wisdom of trying to play neat passing football in the Premier League in recent weeks. Can they hold on for the remaining 40 minutes?
    • 47' GOAL!!! Ishmael Miller takes advantage of a lapse in concentration from Titus Bramble, bears down on Chris Kirkland, and tucks the ball inside the near post.
    • 46' West Brom kick off the second half.
    • 45+1' 0-0 at half-time. West Brom have enjoyed the better of the possession, though Wigan enjoyed the best chance of the match which fell to Camara.
    • 45+1' Corner to Wigan on the stroke of half-time...but it drops straight into Carson's arms, and there's the whistle.
    • 43' A bit of a dip in the tempo before half-time at a rapidly darkening JJB.
    • 40' Wigan with a free-kick 30 yards from goal after a handball from Meite. Taylor tries to bend it round the wall and into the far corner...but Carson is there to make the stop.
    • 37' Palacios gets free down the left channel, but hesitates too long before crossing, and Zuiverloon has enough time to get back and make the block.
    • 34' Valencia now brings down Brunt on the left. Greening is over the free-kick. He arrows the ball in...but straight into the hands of Kirkland.
    • 30' Now Valencia surges down the right flank for Wigan and Heskey heads past the near post.
    • 28' Foul by Figueroa on Zuiverloon. West Brom with a free-kick in a good position on the right flank...but the delivery from Brunt is poor.
    • 25' Miller turns sharply on the edge of the area, but his shot is well of target. West Brom will be pretty pleased with how things are going so far.
    • 23' Jonathan Greening picks the ball up with a lovely piece of skill and surges towards goal...he has Miller to his right...he elects to go alone...and smacks the ball straight over the bar.
    • 20' Chris Brunt has a pop from a free-kick from all of 45 yards, but predictably located the lower tier of the stand behind the goal.
    • 15' Excellent pressing from West Brom sees them rob Bramble of possession in a dangerous position. Greening puts in a dangerous low cross from the right, but Emerson Boyce makes an excellent clearance.
    • 12' Cattermole goes in late on Zuiverloon. He was fortunate not to be booked there.
    • 10' Fast and furious early on. Both sides looking to get the ball forward early.
    • 8' Free-kick now to Wigan 40 yards out. Taylor has a pop...but that one was always going over.
    • 6' Meite heads a long throw behind for another Wigan corner. It's whipped into the centre, is flicked on towards Camara at the back post....AND HE MISSES A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!!!! He volleyed over the bar just yards from goal. To be fair, he didn't have long to set himself, but should have still done better.
    • 4' Valencia goes past his man on the right wing, reinforcements arrive for WBA, but the Ecuadorian wins his side a corner.
    • 2' Great play from Morrison as he surges into the Wigan area, he looks to square the ball for Miller...but Titus Bramble was there to muscle him out of it.
    • 1' Wigan get the game underway at the JJB!
    • 14:50 Ishmael Miller will lead the line for West Brom, with Roman Bednar starting on the bench. Borja Valero, Jonathon Greening and Chris Brunt have been entrusted with the role of getting forward to support him when in possession.
    • 14:50 Wigan have gone with an attacking line-up today, starting with both Henri Camara and Emile Heskey. Rather bizarrely, they have also named two substitute 'keepers.
