Kieffer Moore's first goal for Wigan, scored from the penalty spot, proved in vain against Swansea

Sam Surridge's late header snatched victory for Swansea City away to Wigan Athletic in Saturday's early kick-off.

Connor Roberts picked out fellow substitute Surridge for a goal that put Swansea top, at least until their Championship rivals play later.

Swansea had led when Nathan Dyer curled a shot into the far corner after being picked out by Bersant Celina.

Kieffer Moore's penalty, after Mike van der Hoorn tugged Chey Dunkley's shirt, looked to have rescued a point until Surridge's injury-time strike.

Paul Cook named an unchanged Wigan side from the one which drew with Bristol City last Sunday, with defender Cedric Kipre making his 100th career appearance.

Swansea were likewise unchanged, with Steve Cooper rewarding the players who had seen off Cardiff City in last Sunday's south Wales derby.

The visitors carried on from that morale-boosting win with an early goal after picking apart Wigan down the Swansea left.

Andre Ayew made ground before finding the overlapping Celina, allowing him to pick out Dyer - who had pulled off his marker - to score in the far corner.

It took the Latics less than 10 minutes to hit back when referee Peter Bankes spotted Van der Hoorn pulling back Dunkley at a corner and pointed to the spot, despite Swansea's protests.

Moore's only goal in 14 games this season had been for Wales away to Slovakia, but the summer recruit from Barnsley sent Freddie Woodman the wrong way with the spot kick to open his Wigan account.

Wigan looked the more dangerous after half-time as they went looking for a win to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

They were desperately unlucky not to score when Jamal Lowe unleashed a stunning long-range shot that cannoned off the crossbar with Woodman helpless.

Both managers emptied their benches as they went looking for a decisive goal, but it was Cooper's changes that worked out as Roberts' fresh legs helped him raid down the right wing before picking out Surridge's diagonal run.

Wigan boss Paul Cook: "Swansea are a good side, with good players, and they caused us problems in the first half with the way they moved the ball.

"We got to grips with that in the second half, we negated a good side to one which didn't offer a threat - our goalie's not touched the ball second half.

"Unfortunately for us, we're finding ourselves on the receiving end of some very heavy punches at the moment. The chances come, we don't take them, but that's football."

Swansea City manager Steve Cooper told BBC Radio Wales Sport: "It was a tough game. I thought we started really, really well and were good for the 1-0 lead.

"I guess the plan was just to keep it going so I was slightly disappointed we didn't build on that because we felt there was an opportunity to keep playing well and keep creating chances.

"To let Wigan back in the game the way we did is a little bit of a frustration but a little bit easier to say that now when you've gone on to win the game."
