Well, what a couple of minutes at the Liberty Stadium.
With only one win from their past 15 matches, Wigan were really enjoying themselves after Nathan Byrne put them ahead.
But their joy did not last long. Less than three minutes in fact.
Two of Swansea's loanees combine to excellent effect, with Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher threading a lovely through ball to Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster, who buries a fine finish in the bottom far corner.
Swans boss Steve Cooper loved that - and you would think Jurgen Klopp would have been impressed as well.

I can assure you Rooney did not mean that!
