Wigan drew first blood through Thelo Aasgaard early in the second half, but Cauley Woodrow levelled not long after before Elijah Adebayo's winner in the eighth minute of second-half injury time.

Meanwhile, Accrington Stanley's replay with Boreham Wood was postponed due to an unplayable pitch, and the two teams will instead renew hostilities on Tuesday January 24 for the chance to meet Leeds United or Cardiff City in round four. body check tags ::
