The Owls, who made three changes to their side and offered first league starts of the season to Massimo Luongo and Joey Pelupessy, won out thanks to Luongo’s first Wednesday goal.
But who were the stars and who was sluggish? Let’s take a look at our player ratings from Hillsborough.
5. Moses Odubajo - 6
Another mixed afternoon for the right-back, who offered plenty going forward in particular two crosses of real quality. But there are still moments of shakiness at the back. Photo: Martin Rickett
6. Joey Pelupessy - 7
A shock inclusion in the starting line-up, Pelupessy controlled things nicely in midfield, shielding the defence and keeping things ticking. Improved in the second half. Photo: Alex Burstow
7. Kadeem Harris - 6
Again, not at his barnstorming best, but did more than enough to worry Wigan with a handful of direct, purposeful runs. One or two crosses of quality as he hung out wide. Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Barry Bannan - 6
Drifted in and out throughout the match but provided impetus in important periods of play. Remains one of the division's biggest threats at the set piece. Photo: Steve Ellis
