Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Wigan Athletic FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Harvey Barnes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Wigan Athletic FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 18' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sam Morsy.
  • 19' That is a Yellow card for Wigan Athletic FC. Reece James will be fuming at that decision.
  • 24' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Craig Dawson.
  • 28' The referee has no hesitation. Jay Rodriguez is booked for West Bromwich Albion FC — Yellow card on 28.
  • 33' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jake Livermore on 34.
  • 39' Craig Dawson, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 44' Nick Powell has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 48' The referee calls foul for Harvey Barnes. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 49' Fresh legs for West Bromwich Albion FC! Tosin Adarabioyo comes on to replace Craig Dawson.
  • 54' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. West Bromwich Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 58' A meaty challenge results in booking for Chris Brunt on 58.
  • 59' Controversy at the stadium! Chey Dunkley argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 64' Wigan Athletic FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against West Bromwich Albion FC's shape.
  • 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wigan Athletic FC that had 395 games and scored 419 goals.
  • 74' A goal from the England international Josh Windass! He fires home on 74 to make it 1-0!
  • 76' Another change for West Bromwich Albion FC made on 76 minute. Dwight Gayle leaves to be changed by Hal Robson-Kanu.
  • 78' The crowd applauds Tyrone Mears as he leaves the pitch. Kyle Edwards steps in for West Bromwich Albion FC.
  • 83' It looks surprising West Bromwich Albion FC does not make any changes. Gary Roberts has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 84' Controversy at the stadium! Jake Livermore argues furiously but the Red card stands.
  • 87' A change in the Wigan Athletic FC ranks — Nick Powell exits the field as Callum Connolly enters on 87.
