Mike van der Hoorn rescued a point for Swansea against Wigan Athletic

Swansea City fought back to rescue a point as Wigan's winless run in the Championship continued.

Wigan came into the game on the back of four successive defeats but were in control at the interval thanks to a double from Joe Garner

The striker scored from the penalty spot and headed home from a corner.

However, Swansea responded and scored two goals from corners themselves as Mike van der Hoorn blasted home on 82 minutes after Dan Burn's own goal.

The Latics stay 19th in the Championship while Swansea remain 13th despite having lost five of their past eight.

If Paul Cook's side were lacking in confidence you would never have known as they started confidently.

The Latics scored with the first chance created by either side, but it was the Swans, rather than their opponents who fashioned the opening.

Joe Garner took his season's tally to three goals with a brace at Swansea

There was little danger as Swansea dealt with a routine pass but Cameron Carter-Vickers' sliced clearance caused panic in the Swans box and makeshift defender Wayne Routledge clipped Kai Naismith, with referee James Linington quick to award a penalty that was calmly converted by Garner.

The visitors might have doubled their advantage through Lee Evans' fierce volley, with the Wales international instrumental for the visitors, while the Swans looked unsure of their system and found now cohesion going forward.

Wigan should have been clear before their second, with Kai Naismith denied at point-blank range by Erwin Mulder, but that only provided the briefest respite, because though Swansea just about scrambled clear the resulting corner, they could not repel the next one, with Garner firmly nodding home unopposed.

Boos and chants were directed at boss Graham Potter for the first time by the home faithful with Wigan full value for their half time lead.

The Swans made two changes at half time and improved with Daniel James, Bersant Celina and Oli McBurnie all testing Wigan goalkeeper Christian Walton searching for a response, but each time Walton was equal to the task before a huge slice of luck for the Swans when Dan Burn deflected Matt Grimes' corner into his own net.

That gave Swansea a foothold back into the game and they might even have won it through Carter-Vickers right at the death after exerting huge pressure once van der Hoorn smashed home from a corner on 81 minutes that Wigan felt should never have been given.

Swansea City manager Graham Potter:

"I take full responsibility for the first half, we weren't able to be ourselves and it was an uncomfortable 45 minutes.

"I had an idea of how we wanted to play, but it didn't work. I am disappointed with myself and I apologise to the players and to the supporters for the first half.

"We wanted to have width with Wayne Routledge and Dan James as we thought Wigan would block the centre of the pitch.

"But the response in the second half was fantastic and our supporters throughout the game were incredible. They got behind us in an amazing way and we could even have nicked all three points."

Wigan Athletic manager Paul Cook:

"It was a good game. We were excellent first half and Swansea were excellent in the second half. At the end of the day I think a draw was a fair result.

"At half-time we were in the ascendancy and I could only see ourselves winning the game, but before the game, of course, we would have taken a point.

"Our lads are very disappointed, but they should take heart from this.

"It's disappointing to concede from two set-pieces, but we couldn't handle Swansea's substitutes."
