Cobblers again followed a strong first-half performance with a disappointing second. Here are our player ratings...

Great anticipation and header set up Hoskins' goal, but then lazily dangled out a leg to concede a cheap penalty and allow Wigan back into the contest... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
6. Nicky Adams
Phenomenal achievement to reach 600 career games and most importantly he was able to celebrate it with three points. His ball created the first goal and he was also involved in the third... 7 Photo: Pete Norton
7. Jack Sowerby

8. Ryan Watson
His excellent runs into the box from midfield has caused real problems for the opposition in the last two games now. Could have had a first-half hat-trick to his name. The first has gone down as his (for now)... 7.5 CHRON STAR MAN Photo: Pete Norton
