Wigan Athletic, Millwall play out goalless draw

Wigan Athletic played out a goalless draw at home to Millwall in the Championship this evening, as both teams stay languishing towards the bottom of the table in 19th and 18th respectively.

Adam Forshaw has looked lively throughout, and the midfielder went closest for the Latics on 19 minutes when his long-range effort flew just wide of the post.

After the break, Ricardo Fuller could have extended his scoring streak, but the striker couldn't quite catch his balance after sneaking in behind the Latics' defence.

A swift counter from the home side saw James McClean and Marc-Antoine Fortune combine but the move was eventually snuffed out by the visitors on the edge of the box shortly before the hour mark.

Millwall had Richard Chaplow to thank to keeping things at 0-0 when he headed behind James Tavernier's inviting cross with a number of players queuing up to take advantage.

Rob Kiernan went close from Shaun Maloney's cross with 10 minutes remaining, but the attempt was saved by David Forde who got down well to keep the effort out.
