After the 15-minute break went by, Newcastle came out for the second half with a different approach.
They showed less patience and more intent to move the ball forward.
The home side wanted to put Wigan under pressure early, and the crowd responded to every forward pass, every challenge, and every time Newcastle forced the visitors back towards their own penalty area.
For the first fifteen minutes after the restart, Newcastle had control of the game.
They worked the ball to Alexander Isak whenever the opportunity arose, and eventually Bruno Guimarães found him in a dangerous position inside the final third of the Wigan area.
The moment he got the ball, the former Real Sociedad man took a single touch to set himself before opening his body and driving the ball towards the far angle, looking to get the shot as far away from Ben Amos as he could.
The Wigan goalkeeper threw himself across the goal, but even at full stretch he could not get close enough.
