WIGAN 1 BURNLEY 0
full time
93 GOAL! 1-0 Rodallega settles it with a flying header 60 seconds from time
90+1 A scramble in the Burnley box, but suddenly the Clarets break and Blake brilliantly picks out Nugent's run, but Kirkland makes the save as the angle narrows.
90 Four minutes added time
88 Seconds later Diame arcs a volley from distance goalwards, but Jensen makes an even batter save to turn the dipping volley over
86 Jensen's punch is returned, but when Scotland turns and looks for the top corner, the Beast brilliantly turns over his fierce volley.
82 Burnley sub: Eagles for Paterson
74 Moses on for Wigan, replacing Thomas
73 Nugent's superb chip over the defence puts Paterson clear and the Burnley striker is so unlucky, volleying the ball as it drops over his shoulder onto the crossbar with Kirkland beaten
67 Blake on for Burnley in place of Fletcher
61 Wigan's response is just as close as Scotland whistles a drive just wide of Jensen's left hand post from distance. Suddenly, the chances are arriving!
60 Alexander curls a free kick inches wide of the far post after Fletcher is fouled 20 yards out. It's the closest we've come to a breakthrough for some time

46 Early break by Fletcher and eventually Paterson's low shot cutting in from the right is easy for Kirkland
40 It's a nervy old affair now, with both teams desperately trying to carve out a goalscoring opportunity.
33 Jason Scotland on for Wigan in place of the injured Scharner
24 A Burnley corner is only half cleared and when Stephen Jordan volleys a bouncing ball back into the danger zone, there's a game of head tennis that finally sees Kirkland take charge
18 Alexander's bad back pass gives away a corner. Wigan's Caldwell meets it with a thumping heard but Elliott gets the faintest of touches underneath the angle of post and crossbar to head the ball onto the woodwork
15 Nugent is sent clear 30 yards out by Elliott's threaded pass, only to be clearly taken out by Bramble. Somehow, referee Mike Jones fails to see it that way and waves play on.
6 Paterson's shot deflects into the path of Elliott, but it's a great block from Caldwell to deny a certain goal. Great start from the lads!
4 Nugent fires over from 25 yards as the Clarets keep on pressing the ball
3 Solid start from the Clarets. Alexander's fierce shot blocked and Fletcher's follow up from out side straight at Kirkland
