Wigan Athletic beat Barnsley 2-1 at The Brick Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, claiming victory in a League One encounter that swung back and forth across the second half.
Fraser Murray broke the deadlock in the 36th minute to give Wigan a lead they carried into the interval. The home side went into the break ahead, with Barnsley yet to find a response before the whistle.
Cameron McGeehan pulled Barnsley level on 57 minutes, and the visitors had their equaliser. It proved short-lived, however, as Jensen Weir restored Wigan's advantage on 75 minutes to settle the contest in favour of the home side.
The result leaves Wigan in 19th place in League One after 15 matches played, with four wins, two draws and nine defeats to their name. They have scored 13 goals and conceded 23, accumulating 14 points from the season so far. Wigan sit in the bottom third of the 24-team table.
Barnsley, meanwhile, remain in 23rd place — in the bottom two — after 13 matches played. They have won two, drawn three and lost eight, returning nine points so far this season. Their goals record stands at 13 scored and 24 conceded, and their last five results read LDLLL. The five-point gap between the two sides shows where each club stands in the table at this stage of the season.
