Norwich City 1-1 Wigan Athletic: Max Aarons equaliser rescues point for Canaries

Max Aarons rescued Norwich with a second-half equaliser as they had to settle for a point against Wigan Athletic in their first home game of the new Championship season.

Dean Smith's side made a confident start but were stunned when a defensive error led to James McClean giving the visitors the lead.

Teemu Pukki and Milot Rashica combined to tee up Aarons moments after Dimitris Giannoulis was stretchered off in the second half, and he slotted home past Ben Amos.

Pukki almost won it for the Canaries with a curling strike against the crossbar, but Wigan held out for their second draw following last weekend's goalless stalemate against Preston.
