Josh Windass celebrates scoring vs Cardiff (PA)

Windass made partial amends for his penalty miss by lining up a free-kick from almost 40 yards out on the
hour mark. The ball deflected off the wall and looped it into the box, where Jacobs tucked home with
aplomb.


Three minutes later, Windass was the Wigan hero as he raced on to a through ball and fired an unstoppable
shot into the far corner of the net.


However, Cardiff were not finished and former Wigan man Bogle bundled the ball home with 20 minutes to
go, to the delighted of the visiting fans behind the goal.


Still both teams pushed forward in search of a winner and it was Wigan who found goal number five of an
incredible contest.


Evans cut in from the Wigan left and curled a magnificent strike into the top corner from the edge of the
box.


Cardiff saw a couple of goalmouth scrambles hacked away by desperate Wigan defending, with substitute
Cedric Kipre almost heading into his own net.


But Wigan could and should have found a fourth goal in the dying seconds, only for Windass’ shot to be
tipped round the post by Day.
