Everton defender Callum Connolly scored twice on his debut as Wigan narrowed the gap to fellow relegation rivals Burton Albion.
England Under-19 international Connolly's move - which is for the remainder of the season - was confirmed by Wigan in time for him to make the trip to the Pirelli Stadium.
The Liverpool-born teenager, who spent a month on loan at Barnsley last season, came through Everton's academy.
And he helped his new club to their first victory over Burton Albion and back-to-back wins following victory in the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest.
