‘We can't allow ourselves to get lazy’ – Balogun tasks Wigan as relegation battle heats up

Leon Balogun has stressed that Wigan cannot afford to lose focus if they are to avoid relegation in the Championship.

Playing his maiden home game for the Latics, Paul Cook’s men secured a narrow 1-0 over Millwall to record their first win in three games.

After a goalless first half inside DW Stadium, Shaun Hutchinson’s 57th-minute own goal decided the clash.

The Latics currently are two points away from safety, but the 31-year-old warned that his teammates should not relent yet, insisting they must "trust in the process".

"When you look at the other results, you see how massive this win is for us,” Balogun told Latics TV.
