Watch highlights of Shrewsbury 1 Wigan 5
Watch the match highlights after Shrewsbury Town's nine-match unbeaten run was left in tatters by title-chasing Wigan.
Three goals in nine second-half minutes turned the game in the dominant Latics' favour.
Yanic Wildschut (58), Jason Pearce (61) and Will Grigg's 66th-minute penalty extended Wigan's unbeaten run to 19 league games.
Grigg made it 5-1 in the third minute of time added on to inflict Town's 11th home League defeat of the season.
Remarkably, Sullay Kaikai's sixth goal in as many games and 11th in 20 matches had given Town a 29th-minute lead.
That was only for superb on-loan Everton midfielder Conor McAleny to cancel that out within four minutes.
To compound Shrewsbury's misery, Junior Brown limped off with what looked like a hamstring injury after 51 minutes.
And Zak Whitbread was sent off on his recall from injury for bringing down Grigg for the penalty.
That left boss Micky Mellon with his two most experienced centre backs suspended for next week's trip to Millwall, as Nathaniel Knight-Percival started a three-match ban.
