Rival bosses unanimous over ref

Ryan Taylor and John Filan stepped forward to help Wigan in their battle to beat the Barclays Premiership drop, while Alan Wiley stepped into the firing line of both Paul Jewell and Glenn Roeder.

Taylor’s first Wigan goal for 16 months was a stunning free-kick five minutes before the interval, while veteran goalkeeper Filan produced a number of fine saves to seal a 1-0 win.
