Accrington Stanley earned a point in a goalless League Two draw with Wigan Athletic at Boundary Park. The result extends the team's unbeaten run to five matches, a sequence that has lifted them to 15th in the table with 11 points from 10 games.
Ben Toner was a solid presence in the stalemate, earning a 7/10 rating for his contribution. Manager Micky Mellon was content with the outcome, describing it as a 'Latics point with Stanley'.
Mellon acknowledged the game lacked clear-cut chances in difficult, windy conditions. He praised his players for a gritty and determined performance that ended a four-match losing streak for their opponents. "The players fought hard and put their bodies on the line," Mellon said.
The point keeps Stanley's form strong ahead of a tough home clash with fourth-placed Gillingham on Saturday.
