Wigan Athletic slipped back to the foot of the League One table after a defeat at the hands of managerless Wycombe Wanderers.

Before the game, there was a minute's applause for Wigan's goalkeeping coach Kevin Miller, who died this week at the age of 57.

Wycombe also showed their respects as striker Jayden Wareham – who was a colleague of Miller's last season at Exeter – placed a wreath behind one of the goals.

After a first half almost totally devoid meaningful incident, Wigan wanted a penalty at the beginning of the second period when Fraser Murray went down in the area, but the referee waved play on.

The opening goal eventually arrived with 22 minutes to go and it was the visitors who managed to break the deadlock.

Cauley Woodrow created the opening for Dan Casey, who headed home from close range, leaving Wigan goalkeeper Joe Whitworth with no chance.

Wigan made five attacking substitutions in the second period to try to muster a response, but a shot from one of them – Connor Barrett – that cleared the bar was the closest they came.
