Wigan's hopes of staying in the Premier League are looking precarious after losing 2-0 at West Ham on Saturday with Kevin Nolan scoring his 100th career goal.
Matt Jarvis scored in the 20th minute at Upton Park with a cross that eluded Nolan and goalkeeper Joel Robles before the ball nestled inside the far corner of the net.
Nolan wasn't to be denied in the 80th minute, latching onto Andy Carroll's flick-on before athletically smashing the ball beyond Robles.
West Ham rises one place to 10th in the standings, the highest placing by a team which won promotion last season. By contrast, Wigan is in the last relegation spot and three points from safety with five rounds left to play following its second loss this week.
