Wigan Athletic 0-0 Swansea City: Swans move into top six despite goalless draw
- From the section Championship
Swansea moved into the Championship play-off places despite being held to a goalless draw at Wigan.
Latics goalkeeper Christian Walton saved from Matt Grimes and Connor Roberts in the first half.
The home side did have chances after the break, with Will Grigg denied by Swans keeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt when through on goal.
Arguably the closest either side came was in the dying seconds, when Wigan's Chey Dunkley cleared off the line with Oli McBurnie ready to tap in.
Paul Cook's side are now unbeaten in 13 home league games, while Swansea's clean sheet is their sixth in 12 matches under Graham Potter.
The point was enough to see the Swans move into the top six, with Wigan seventh and only below them on goal difference.
