Martyn Waghorn's equaliser came off Cedric Kipre, but the Wigan defender could not divert the shot away from goal

Martyn Waghorn's 93rd-minute goal rescued Derby County a draw at Wigan Athletic as they scored their first goal in seven Championship away games.

The Latics had the better of the game and looked set for their first win in 12 when Joe Garner hooked the ball into the top corner after a header from former Rams midfielder Michael Jacobs.

But Phillip Cocu's Derby - who had failed to score away since 2 October - earned an unlikely point with Waghorn's powerful, low half-volley inside the box as the hosts failed to clear a long throw.

Wigan fall to the bottom of the table on goals scored after Stoke beat Sheffield Wednesday, while Derby remain 17th, six points above the drop zone.

The game - between the Championship's two lowest scorers - had look destined for a stalemate as both sides lacked quality in the final third, despite plenty of endeavour.

Antonee Robinson struck the post for Wigan in the first half, with Derby's Curtis Davies miscuing a header when unmarked at the far post.

The second half was less eventful until Garner's acrobatic finish, and the visitors did not look like scoring before Waghorn lashed the ball home against his former club - his shot creeping in despite Cedric Kipre's best attempts at blocking the ball.

Paul Cook's Wigan are without a home win in six attempts while Derby's wait for an away triumph stretches to 11 matches, though this point did end a six-game losing streak on the road.

Wigan manager Paul Cook:

"Someone's been marking Martyn Waghorn for 92 minutes, and in the 93rd minute, someone wasn't marking Martyn Waghorn.

"That's football, and I will take the blame for these lads, because the learning curve is quite brutal.

"We know we should have more points on the board, and any fair-minded observer would agree with that.

"The reality is we haven't, and we have to live with that."

Derby boss Phillip Cocu:

"They didn't create too much, apart from free-kicks and corners, and I think in the second half we were much better.

"We were better on the ball, we used the space better, and we created chances on goal. If we'd have managed to score the first goal, it would have given us the boost we needed.

"But we showed a good attitude, and we were determined to go to the last second to get a positive result.

"In the end I think a draw was a fair result, and it's a positive and important result after so many recent defeats."
