JAMES MCCLEAN FAILED to earn a starting spot in the first leg of Wigan’s play-off semifinal with QPR, however he made the most of his opportunity tonight.
McClean was named in the starting line-up this time around, and the terrific cross he delivered for the game’s opening goal, converted by James Perch, justified the winger’s selection.
However, Wigan ultimately lost 2-1 to the hosts on the night and on aggregate at Loftus Road, after Charlie Austin equalised via the penalty spot on 73 minutes, before hitting a second goal in extra time.
