Michael O'Neill's side's second straight win came after they won his first game in charge 4-2 at Barnsley

Stoke City struck in stoppage time to win Michael O'Neill's first home game in charge after coming from behind against out-of-form Wigan Athletic.

Substitute Mame Biram Diouf netted his first goal of the campaign, turning home Tom Ince's ball to move the hosts just one point behind the Latics in the table.

Sam Morsy had earlier given the visitors hope of a first away win of the season with a close-range opener, before Danny Batth's equaliser from a set-piece after the break.

The result gave O'Neill a second win from his two games in charge of the Potters since replacing Nathan Jones.

After moving off the bottom of the Championship table with their 4-2 win at struggling Barnsley in O'Neill's first match, the hosts almost made a perfect start as Nick Powell headed on to the crossbar against his old club in the third minute.

Wigan responded and went close through Chey Dunkley's header before Port Vale old boy Morsy put them in front after a mix-up between Stoke's Thomas Edwards and keeper Jack Butland.

The goal put Wigan on course to end a nine-game winless run of away games, having been victorious just once on their travels since a 3-0 win at Stoke in August 2018.

But Batth turned in Ryan Woods' dangerous free-kick to make it 1-1 before Tom Ince forced a strong save from David Marshall, as the hosts upped their game after half-time.

The bet365 Stadium then erupted three minutes into added time as Diouf - who had not scored since April 2018 after enduring a goalless campaign last term - won it with a cool, left-footed finish.

Stoke's win lifted them above Middlesbrough to 22nd in the table and level on points with Luton Town, while Wigan's poor run stretched to four losses in five games without a win.

Stoke boss Michael O'Neill:

"Winning games like that get you of trouble, we really showed great character.

"It's been a great start. It was a difficult game, which we anticipated, but we probably made life more than difficult than we would have liked.

"It's always great to win so late in the game, it gives our supporters that extra wee lift and sends them home happy."

Wigan manager Paul Cook:

"It's a cruel game. We're on the floor at the minute. Do you sometimes get what you deserve? I don't know.

"We've conceded a stoppage-time goal, I just feel sorry for the players and the supporters. It's painful, it really is.

"Our lads have given everything they've got. As a manager, when they do that, you don't have too many qualms.

"I don't know how I can help them sometimes, other than shut my eyes and pray."
