Norwich City 1-1 Wigan Athletic: Aarons rescues point for Canaries (VAVEL.com)

Despite dominating much of the match, Norwich were forced to settle for a point against a scrappy Wigan side.

Will Keane cut out Gibson's pass and, after finding a gap in the defence, fed an unmarked McLean, who slotted past Krul to make it 1-0. Sam McCallum came on in his place. Aarons was taken off in the first minute of stoppage time, replaced by Sara, who was making his debut for Norwich. The Canaries saw out ten minutes of stoppage time to earn a point. He volleyed the subsequent rebound high and wide. Rashica then took advantage of a mistake by the Latics and was one-on-one with Amos, but like Kerr in the first half, he beat the 'keeper, but not the goal. Aarons was the next to try his luck as at the quarter-hour mark, he found space on the edge of the box and although he beat goalkeeper Ben Amos, his shot flashed wide of the goal.

I don’t understand how we’re not walking away with a penalty as well, because I’ve seen the tackle back on Max’s shin and it’s a dreadful one. We had loads of possession but didn’t create big enough chances. Despite Smith and his players not exactly getting the result they want with further improvements to be made, there was a general agreement that they put in a much-improved performance with the hosts dominating the game.

Wigan Athletic: Five talking points from Norwich City (a) (Wigan Today)

1 Top draw stuff! Latics may not have come home from Norfolk with all three points, but the team coach will have been full of optimism and buoyancy on the ...

It was a first Championship start together for Jason Kerr and Curtis Tilt. And despite being up against Teemu Pukki - one of the deadliest Championship strikers of recent years - they stood up to be counted as Latics held out against a side that was two divisions above them last year. On the back of last week's stalemate against Preston, Latics have now gone toe to toe with two sides who would expect to be at least in the play-off picture, and come away with a share of the spoils. Up to that point, chances had been sparse, with Callum Lang squandering a similar opportunity in Latics' solitary attack, after being played in by Will Keane. But when Keane won the ball cheaply and slid the ball sideways to McClean, the Irishman was cool, calm and collected as he took delivery of the ball and slipped the ball past the advancing Tim Krul. Latics will heavily rely on McClean's know-how back in the second tier, and the early signs are that he has unfinished business at this level.
