Magpies steal Latics’ thunder with late brace

NOTTS COUNTY caused a major upset at the DW Stadium as two late goals saw them defeat Wigan and book a place in the FA Cup fifth round.

Having survived a series of Wigan attempts on goal, League Two County took a shock lead with 15 minutes to go as Stephen Hunt headed home Ben Davies’ corner and Gary Caldwell then scored an own goal three minutes later to leave the home side stunned and County looking forward to a trip to Fulham in a week on Sunday.

Wigan’s Jason Scotland wasted the best opportunity of the opening 45 minutes, shooting straight at Kasper Schmeichel when put through one-on-one in the 11th minute.
