Rodrigo Muniz 's brace saw Fulham survive a scare at Wigan as Marco Silva's much-changed side progressed to the FA Cup fifth round. Fifty years since their one and only trip to the final, the Whites kept this season's dreams alive by extending their lengthy unbeaten run against the Latics to a 20th match.

Muniz restored Fulham’s lead when he tucked away a beautiful Andreas Pereira pass, but the last half-hour was one-way traffic as Wigan hunted for an equaliser, even scoring a late goal that was quickly ruled offside. Fulham have won back to back away games, having defeated Newcastle on the road the previous weekend in the Premier League.
