Fulham’s faint hopes of automatic Championship promotion were ended with a fortunate 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.
The Cottagers could have taken the lead as early as the second minute as Aleksandar Mitrovic skied a close range effort following a low Joe Bryan cross.
Wigan recovered well though as Kieffer Moore had a goal disallowed on 28 minutes after tucking home a spilled save from Fulham keeper Marek Rodak.
However, four minutes later Moore got his head to Nathan Bryne’s delightful cross to give the Latics the lead.
Fulham responded through a Neeskens Kebano free-kick that curled effortlessly into the top left corner four minutes after the interval.
The second-half was an end-to-end affair as both sides pushed to try and find a winner in their respective promotion and relegation battles.
Wigan’s Leon Balogun saw a header saved brilliantly by Rodak, while at the other end Aboubakar Kamara saw an effort saved off the line.
The result consigns Fulham to fourth in the table and a Play-Off semi-final encounter against Cardiff City while Wigan look likely be relegated after their points deduction is enforced.
