CRICHTON: Commanded his penalty area well and swept up impressively behind the defence when called upon...7

WEST: Little Scottish winger Brian McLaughlin got little joy out of West, who also contributed to Burnley's attacking options on the right...7

BRANCH: Defensively untroubled at left-back, although he was judged to have committed the penalty offence, the accuracy of his final ball was the only disappointment when he ventured forward...6

WELLER: Out of the game for a spell in the second half, the midfielder had looked extremely sharp and creative early on in a highly encouraging return...7

DAVIS: Simon Haworth only got the better of Davis once as Wigan's free-scoring forwards were effectively contained...7

THOMAS: Thomas has graced grander stages, but there was no questioning the defender's commitment or effectiveness in another powerful display...8

LITTLE: Given nothing by the referee all night, the winger's frustrations were just about kept in check as he again gave the Wigan defence plenty to think about...7 JOHNROSE: Took a little while to get on the pace but thereafter was a major influence in the Clarets' midfield...7

LEE: Boosted by his first goal for the club, the striker had his best game yet and could have had a hat-trick...8

PAYTON: Looked sharp in and around the box and unlucky not to be awarded a late penalty...7

MULLIN: Revelled in his central midfield role, where his ability to break in support of the attack was a big feature...8

SUBSTITUTES:

ROBERTSON: Took his chance well at right-back, looking comfortable on the ball and providing a threat when going forward...8

COWAN: Another to make an impressive return to the fray in his near half-hour run-out...7

BRASS: Wigan's golden goal gave him just 10 minutes to feel his way back into the set-up
