Latics hold Villa to draw
Aston Villa missed out on the chance to climb into second spot in the Barclays Premier League after being held to a goalles draw at home by Steve Bruce's battlers.
Wigan, who have agreed a fee with Newcastle for defender Charles N'Zogbia, had diplayed their fighting qualities in holding Liverpool in mid-week.
And the Latics again proved their worth by claiming a point at Villa Park on a frustrating afternoon for the home fans.
