Will Grigg's double at Shrewsbury took him to 22 goals for the season

Wigan leapfrogged Burton at the top of League One after coming from behind to claim a convincing win at Shrewsbury.

Sullay Kaikai fired the Shrews in front from close range before Conor McAleny's superb 20-yard volley drew Wigan level.

Yanic Wildschut drilled home to put the Latics ahead and Jason Pearce headed in Max Power's corner.

Shrewsbury's Zak Whitbread was sent off for a foul on Will Grigg who converted the resulting penalty and then rounded things off by turning in Power's cross.

Wigan are one point clear of title rivals Burton - who were held to a draw by Bury - while Shrewsbury slipped to 18th, five points above the relegation places.
