Goals from home debutants Nick Powell and Ryan Shotton gave Wigan a 2-0 victory over Ipswich, but they had goalkeeper Scott Carson to thank.

The Latics moved up five places to 11th in the table courtesy of goals at the start and end of the game, but the contribution of in-form Carson was just as crucial, as he made a string of saves to preserve their advantage KD 6 GS Sale Online.

There was an early scare for Wigan when Luke Chambers headed against the crossbar from a Paul Anderson corner, but the home side took the lead when Powell's corner was headed home at the back post by full-back Shotton after 12 minutes predator lz football boots 2013.

David McGoldrick went close to equalising in the 35th minute when he nodded an Anderson cross just wide, but for all Ipswich's pressure it was Wigan who nearly doubled their lead just before half-time when Powell's shot flashed just wide with goalkeeper Dean Gerken well beaten.
