Millwall v Wigan: Maloney puts Wigan ahead

In wet conditions here at Wembley Wigan have taken the lead on the quarter point mark of this tie with a close range finish from Shaun Maloney. Enjoying the better of the possession, Wigan are profiting through the creativity of James McCarthy and their fluid style in attack has seen them impose plenty of pressure on the Millwall defence, who, until Maloney's goal had restricted them to long range efforts with only Callum McManaman's shot truly testing David Forde. Millwall, employing a deep back line, made an energetic opening but have lacked the necessary finesse to breach the Wigan defence and Wigan will now look to build upon the advantage Maloney has provided them.
