Al Habsi keeps another Wigan clean sheet

Ali Al Habsi kept his third Championship clean sheet in a row as Wigan Athletic beat Derby County 1-0 on Wednesday.

The Omani international made just his fourth league start of the campaign, in place of injured number one Scott Carson, as the Latics extended their unbeaten run to five.

Al Habsi had little to do as Uwe Rosler's side kept the Rams to one shot on target, notching up their third shutout on the trot following the recent 0-0 draws with Birmingham City (on Boxing Day) and Burnley (on December 29).
