Wigan lost ground on their promotion rivals at the top end of the League One table, as MK Dons ran out deserved 2-1 winners at the DW Stadium.
The home side had even taken a 20th-minute lead, with Charlie Wyke slotting home Will Keane's right-wing cross.
But the Dons also started well and levelled on the half-hour mark, when Daniel Harvie crossed for Peter Kioso to head past Ben Amos.
Before the Latics could respond, the visitors added a second goal seven minutes later, with a cross from the left taking a nick first off Jack Whatmough and then his Wigan team-mate Tendayi Darikwa.
Leam Richardson's hosts tried to rally but, if anything, the Dons could have added further goals in the second half.
A fine free-kick from Scott Twine somehow flew all the way out for a goal kick, before Wigan were indebted to forward Callum Lang for a desperate last-gasp interception with Mo Eisa waiting to pounce.
