Burton Albion 1-1 Wigan Athletic

Tom Naylor has scored five goals this season

League One leaders Wigan were held to a draw by second-placed Burton.

Wigan took an early lead when Michael Jacobs sent in a cross that evaded everyone and found the far corner.

Nigel Clough's side levelled before the break when Tom Naylor rose highest to head home Matty Palmer's free-kick.

Wigan remain three points clear with three matches to play while Burton are still three points above third-placed Walsall, who fought back to draw 1-1 at home to Swindon on Tuesday.

The Saddlers have a game in hand on Burton, who need one more point to secure a play-off spot.

Gary Caldwell's side host Southend on Saturday while the Brewers visit relegation-threatened Colchester.

Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby:

"I thought we were magnificent all the way through, start to finish.

"We were very unlucky to go one-nil down tonight at home, but once again the response was excellent.

"Deserved the equaliser and all the second half, we could have got a goal at any time because we deserved it, the way we went about it.

"In terms of making it uncomfortable for the opposition, getting in their faces, closing down and doing those sorts of things then yes it was one of the best performances of the season."
