Forward reflects on an eventful night for Latics after they come back from two goals down to beat Fleetwood.
Lang: “You don’t forget wins like that and it was a great way to do it and nice to give something back to the fans.”

Callum Lang was left feeling delighted after seeing his side come from two goals down to beat Fleetwood Town at the Highbury Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The forward began the comeback with Latics’ first goal of the night and believes the performance showed the team’s determination to fight until the end.

Reflecting post-match on Latics TV, he said: “We definitely did it the hard way. It was always going to be tough but when we went two goals down, we showed fighting spirit and that’s what we’re all about.

“You’ve got to work until the last whistle. We showed good character and we got our rewards.

“It was a bit of a slow start and to be fair to them they started quickly and it took us a while to get into the game.

“With the previous midweek games, we wanted to put it right and that first goal gave us that confidence and we went all out attack from there.”

Latics were backed by 1,100 Latics fans at the Highbury Stadium and Lang was pleased to be able to give something back to supporters who have continued to travel in numbers all season.

He said: “You don’t forget wins like that and it was a great way to do it. We did it the hard way but I think it was a better feeling at the end and we gave the fans something.

“They’ve travelled and followed us everywhere and it’s nice to give them something back.”
