Wigan caused a Championship upset last night when they held on with 10 men to beat high flying Leeds.
It’s the latest in a series of impressive showings from the Latics inspired by their on loan Chelsea star, Reece James.
The youngster starred in midfield again as they battled to a gritty win, having put home a penalty at the weekend to pick them up other points.
Predictably, social media was going wild for the youngster and his efforts, and we’ve collected some of the best reactions below.
