WIGAN registered their first away win of the season after Henri Camara pounced in the second half to snatch all three points at Craven Cottage.

The Latics looked destined to record their only goalless draw since entering the Premiership after Danny Landzaat missed a 76thminute penalty.

Referee Graham Poll had awarded the spot-kick when Zat Knight handled Camara's shot on the line but Landzaat, a £2.3million summer signing from AZ Alkmaar, hit the crossbar.

Camara showed no such nerves, however, as he capitalised on an error from Fulham's defence with a magnificent finish to end Wigan's away day blues.

It was panic stations in the visiting defence easly on when McBride's shot was blocked by Arjan De Zeeuw.

A Claus Jensen corner fell to McBride but he tried to set up Michael Brown instead of shooting and the chance was gone.

Fulham continued to press with skipper Knight picking out Tomasz Radzinski at the far post only for the Canadian international's header to sail wide.

It was an open match and the initiative regularly changed hands but controversy reigned in the 74th minute when Wigan were awarded a penalty for Knight's hand ball but Landzaat could not convert.

But his blushes were spared before the final whistle when Kevin Kilbane charged down Knight's clearance allowing Camara to stroke the ball home.
