Leo jogged across to take the corner and swung a dangerous ball into the area, but this time Areola was decisive.
He came through the crowd confidently and claimed it before anyone in blue and white could challenge for it.
And just like that, West Ham were away.
Areola released the ball quickly to Bowen, who barely needed a touch before switching play with a sweeping pass into Benrahma's path.
The winger took it perfectly in stride, and suddenly there was space in front of him, Wigan's defenders scrambling back as the counterattack gathered speed.
"OHHH!!! Wigan's been caught off guard. West Ham have numbers here," the commentator warned as Benrahma drove into the box and shaped to shoot.
Amos reacted instantly, committing himself to the strike, but the winger sold the fake brilliantly.
With one touch he moved the ball around the goalkeeper and found himself staring at an open net from an increasingly difficult angle.
Still, he went for it.
