Two free-kicks from Larsson sandwiched a second of the season for Christian Benitez, all in the space of 11 maddening minutes for Wigan manager Roberto Martinez whose side had easily led 1-0 at the break via a stunning effort from Charles N'Zogbia. Substitute Jordi Gomez pulled one back for Wigan with a late free-kick.
