Wigan Athletic 1 Bristol City 0: Three on the trot for improving Latics

Nick Powell scored the decisive goal as Wigan Athletic edged out Bristol City to secure a third straight victory in the Championship.

Wigan Athletic climbed to third in the Championship with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bristol City at DW Stadium on Friday.

Nick Powell headed in the only goal in the 52nd minute to give his team a third win in succession that takes them a point shy of the automatic promotion places.

The winner came courtesy of Josh Windass' classy cross from the right flank in what was a rare moment of quality in front of goal.
