Latics overcome Hall red card to claim crucial point

Watford 1 Wigan 1

Jewell believed referee Phil Dowd contributed to his team’s 2-1 defeat at Arsenal earlier this month, and he was left perplexed again here when Fitz Hall was harshly shown a straight red card in the 20th minute for a challenge on Johan Cavalli.

Jewell must have feared the worst when Darius Henderson put the home side in front shortly after, but Caleb Folan equalised five minutes before the interval.
