(Reuters) - Wigan Athletic recorded their biggest ever league victory as they beat Hull City 8-0 in the Championship on Tuesday, hitting seven past their beleaguered opponents in the first half.
The Latics broke the deadlock through Kal Naismith inside the opening minute of the contest, before Kieran Dowell and Kieffer Moore netted a brace each, and Jamal Lowe and Joe Williams also got on the scoresheet before the halftime break.
The result also matched the biggest ever Championship victory -- Bournemouth's 8-0 win over Birmingham City in 2014. The defeat leaves relegation-threatened Hull a point adrift of the safety zone, having lost four matches in a row. Grady Diangana's effort from close range in the second half was saved brilliantly by visiting goalkeeper Marek Rodak, while Fulham forward Anthony Knockaert hit the crossbar with a thunderous effort.
