He gave Everton's Phil Neville a torrid time during Saturday's 1-1 draw, providing boss Roberto Martinez with a renewed belief that he has the personnel to defy the relegation odds this term.
The Latics now face a huge clash this weekend when they make the short journey to take on fellow bottom-three side, Bolton Wanderers, at the Reebok Stadium.
Wigan are 26.00 to be relegated this season while Bolton can be backed at 1.36 to finish in the bottom three.

Martinez admits: "Jean has settled in really well. He's a specialist in the position that he plays and he's been a real boost to the squad. There are certain situations where he can find a cross where maybe you don't expect it, and I think we'll get that very soon.
"It seemed like he had been playing for us a long time against Everton. He's a great character and he's fitted in extremely well with what we want to do."
