LATICS’ POINTER

SUNDAY MIRROR

Conor Hourihane’s shot from the edge of the box was headed into the net by Adam Armstrong but the flag was up for offside.

Wigan keeper Adam Bogdan was then taken off on a stretcher and replaced by Jussi Jaaskelainen.

Ryan Kent went close for the home side but his curling effort went just over the top corner.

Yanic Wildschut then wasted a brilliant chance to win the game, failing to get any power behind his shot.

Joyce said: “I thought we did deserve the point. The way we defended, the way the lads put their bodies on the line second half, I thought it would be a travesty if we didn’t get something out of the game.

“The goalkeeper is stretchered off too, and we’ve had to react and deal with the situation.

“You know how good the crowd is here, what type of Possession Shots On Target Shots Off Target Blocked Shots Corners Fouls Conceded Offsides Yellow Cards Red Cards 62% 38% 2 2 9 4 4 0 6 4 11 16 1 0 0 2 0 0 football they play, so we knew it was going to be tough so I’m pleased.”

Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom was left frustrated with his side’s shooting, saying: “My only criticism would be that we didn’t work the keeper enough.

“We controlled the game from start to finish and were disappointed we didn’t get the three points.”
