Championship: Wigan's defeat by Cardiff played with different-sized goals

The goalmouths at Wigan Athletic were different sizes, but the game went on as planned.

The goal frames were two inches taller than the other before the game started.

Neither team would gain an advantage so the game should go on.

Mark Hudson asked if they could attack that end in both halves, but they weren't having that.

Wigan will be contacted by the English Football League for their observations.

Ryan Wintle's third goal of the game came off the underside of the higher bar and gave the Bluebirds a win.

Hudson said there was an issue with the size of the goal.

They had to change it because of Hawkeye.

No-one wanted to wait a couple of hours for it to sink another couple of inches. It was the same for both sides, so we decided to keep going.

It's another example of the way things are going for Wigan, according to their boss.

He said that one of the goals was too high and the third goal went in off the bar.

It summed up the day for us. It doesn't help you prepare for a game, but it's the same for both sides.

The third goal is likely to bounce away at the other end.

Both clubs were happy to play when the issue was brought up prior to the game starting, so it is not thought that the fixture will be re-arranged.

The referee was James Bell.

The body in charge of refs in English professional football has been contacted.
