Latics make it two wins in two games

Latics triumphed 1-0 at Wealdstone

Harry Charsley struck a late winner to maintain Latics' perfect start to the new National League season in a 1-0 victory at Wealdstone.

A hard-fought match appeared to be heading for a draw until a Mike Fondop corner was headed into the net by Charsley in the 85th minute.

It was Charsley’s second goal of the season following his strike in the 3-0 rout of Braintree last week.

Wealdstone created few chances and they suffered the late indignity of seeing Christian Scott sent off for a foul on Fondop in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Latics boss Micky Mellon said: "You're only as good as your squad and we showed today the importance of those guys being game ready and coming on and performing like they did, and we're going to need more of that."

Latics are back in action on Tuesday night when they host Fylde.
