Hull relegated after Wigan seal 2-2 draw

FT: Wigan 2 Hull 2

Steven Gohouri’s dramatic stoppage-time equaliser stole a point for Wigan and confirmed Hull’s relegation from the Barclays Premier League.

The Tigers fell behind after half an hour when Victor Moses curled the ball in off the post, his first strike for the Latics since joining from Crystal Palace.

Hull looked to have turned the match around as youngsters Will Atkinson and Mark Cullen also opened their Premier League accounts, but Gohouri – another Wigan first-time scorer – struck with a late acrobatic effort to send the visitors down.

Cullen tried his luck again with a drive 10 minutes from time but the effort went high and wide.

Moments later Martinez threw on Paul Scharner, who appeared to have the message “thanks” dyed into his hair.

Wigan pressed in the final minutes in search of an equaliser and found it at the death, Gohouri firing an acrobatic effort past Duke in stoppage time.

Dowd and the stewards then had to deal with a pitch invasion before a final minute was played out and Hull’s fate was sealed.
