Wigan Athletic manager Gary Caldwell thought his side were 'brilliant' and deserved to progress against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup after losing on penalties at Oakwell. Dara Costelloe's first-half goal looked to be enough to send Wigan through until Cameron McGeehan levelled nine minutes from time to send the tie to penalties. K'Marni Miller thought he had won it for Wigan in the third minute of added on time but his goal was ruled out for offside - wrongly according to Caldwell. The first 10 spot-kicks were scored before Jon Mellish's effort was saved by the knee of Rogan Ravenhill and Josh Earl scored to make it 6-5 and send the Reds through. Caldwell said: 'I thought we were brilliant. We hit the post, the keeper makes some saves. So early in the season away from home, we totally dominated. The big lesson is you have to put the game to bed in that period and not give them any hope.' On the disallowed goal he added: 'He's onside. We were ready to play the game today, but I felt the officials weren't.' League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 16th in League One, 56 pts, 14W-14D-18L from 46 games, recent form LLDWW. Goals this season: 49 scored, 58 conceded (-9 goal difference).
