WIGAN ATHLETIC WILL have to wait until the final day of the season to confirm their return to the Championship after they blew a two-goal half-time lead to lose 3-2 at Portsmouth.
Irish striker Aidan O’Brien, introduced in the 76th minute, hit the winner for Pompey, completing an unlikely comeback with three minutes left.
Callum Long and Ireland International Will Keane had earlier sent Wigan into a 2-0, before George Hirst hit a brace and O’Brien struck the winner.
