Kyle Wootton's dramatic 90th-minute double turned what looked like a disappointing draw into a emphatic victory for Stockport County at Edgeley Park. The Hatters had twice fallen behind to Joe Taylor's early brace for Wigan, but showed tremendous character to fight back through Brad Hills and A. Sidibeh before half-time. The turning point came when Steven Sessegnon received his marching orders on the hour mark for a second bookable offense, and despite Wigan's resilient defensive display, Stockport's pressure finally told in the dying moments. This crucial three points keeps Stockport firmly in the League One promotion race, while Wigan's late collapse will be particularly hard to take given their bright start and disciplined performance for much of the contest.
