Wigan Athletic scored seven first-half goals to stun relegation-threatened Hull City before equalling the biggest victory in Championship history. The result matched Bournemouth's 8-0 thrashing of Birmingham City in 2014 and set a new record league win for the Latics. In an extraordinary first 45 minutes at the DW Stadium, Kal Naismith, Jamal Lowe and Joe Williams all got on the scoresheet for the hosts, while Kieffer Moore and Kieran Dowell netted twice. Dowell completed his hat-trick after the break but that was where the scoring ended. While the final scoreline was staggering, the victory was crucial for Wigan, while defeat could decimate Hull's chances of survival. The Latics, who have a 12-point deduction for going into administration looming, are now 12 points off the drop zone with two games to play. Hull's woeful run of form since football's return in June continues, however, with this low point leaving them a point off safety and having lost four games in a row. Grant McCann's side have won just once in their past 19 games as the threat of relegation to League One looms over the Tigers. Hull face fellow strugglers Luton as well as Cardiff in their final two games, but there was little from this performance to inspire confidence in their survival
