The 2020-21 campaign delivered a vital and hard-fought survival for Wigan Athletic as The Latics defied the odds to secure their place in League One, finishing 20th after a season spent mostly in administration. Leading the charge was the clinical forward Will Keane, whose 11 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on resilience and the determined leadership of Leam Richardson. It was a standout year that marked the club's successful fight for its very existence under new ownership and remains a defining chapter in the modern history of the DW Stadium.
