Struggling Wigan Athletic are 2-0 down at home to leaders Bournemouth in this afternoon's Championship clash at the DW Stadium.
In the ninth minute, the hosts were denied by the woodwork when James McClean's free kick from a tight angle smashed against the bar.
Just three minutes later, the visitors countered through Yann Kermorgant, but the Frenchman saw his dangerous shot smartly saved by Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi.
Leon Clarke, a deadline day signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers, was next to threaten as he got in behind the Cherries defence before dragging his shot wide of the target.
However, the deadlock was broken by Eddie Howe's charges in the 37th minute as Callum Wilson sprinted onto a through ball before tucking home past Al-Habsi.
Kermorgant doubled Bournemouth's lead just before the break when he bore down on goal before letting rip with a shot from the edge of the area that soared into the top corner.
