Earlier Will Keane put the visitors ahead from the spot in the 25th minute before Tom Lees equalized in the 76th minute. Lang scored the winner in the 82nd minute to seal the three points for the visitors.
Managers Reaction
Huddersfield’s Danny Schofield: “I know this job comes with a lot of pressure. When you’re not winning games, when you’re losing games, the pressure’s mounting, and I take full responsibility for that. You do actually feel a lot of pressure in this job, but you have to try and control that pressure. My focus is just on what I can control, seeing where we can improve all the time. The players have again given me everything out there on the pitch and the result’s obviously not what we were looking for. We placed a lot of importance on this game, probably more than the others, because of the run of results we’ve had. It’s a game we prepared really hard for.”
Wigan’s Leam Richardson: “I thought the game summed up the Championship. You have to defend at times, no matter how well you’re playing. For the first hour, I thought we were really good value as an away team for our lead. I thought we controlled large parts of the game before we had to ride our luck a little bit at times. At the same time, we hit the post, Callum goes round the goalkeeper and can’t score, and I thought the game may have changed on that. They threw caution to the wind, put a few more attackers on, and you expect them to give you a challenge, which you have to accept.”
