For the first time since taking the lead, Wigan seemed willing to give Manchester United a little breathing room.
After the game restarted, they stopped throwing bodies forward at every opportunity and allowed United to have the ball.
It wasn't an invitation to attack so much as a chance for the visitors to remember how to play football without feeling someone breathing down their necks.
And for Wigan, it was a chance to revisit their intent for the game.
With them now in the lead, they could afford to play without rushing, lest it led to them conceding again.
The effect of them slowing was immediately noticeable between the two sides.
For Manchester United, Bruno began showing for passes again.
Mainoo found room to turn, and Casemiro started directing traffic from deeper positions.
The United players who had practically disappeared during Wigan's three-goal burst gradually worked themselves back into the game.
There was just one problem.
