Morsy scores as Balogun’s Wigan Athletic move out of relegation zone

Leon Balogun’s Wigan Athletic are out of the relegation zone as the Championship outfit club moved to 19th after a shock win over West Bromwich Albion.

Sam Morsy’s second-half strike earned Paul Cook’s team maximum points to end the Baggies’ six-game unbeaten run.

In a hard-hitting encounter largely dominated by the hosts, Wigan put up a solid defensive display as they were comfortable waiting to soak up all pressure from Slaven Bilic’s side.

West Brom suffered a setback in the first half when influential defender Ahmed Hegazi was forced off owing to a hamstring injury.
