Wigan Athletic 0-1 Newcastle United

Newcastle United secured a narrow victory over Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.

Newcastle moved back into the top half of the Barclays Premier League thanks to Shola Ameobi's close-range finish at Wigan.
Ameobi, in the Magpies side as a replacement for injured top-scorer Andy Carroll, pounced in the 19th minute when Ali Al Habsi blocked Joey Barton's shot and Peter Lovenkrands' follow-up hit the post
Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor also both struck the woodwork for the visitors, while Gary Caldwell saw his header come back off the bar for the Latics.
