Argentine striker Mauro Boselli opened the scoring for Wigan in the 25th minute before Maynor Figueroa doubled the lead 10 minutes later with an absolute belter from 30 yards.
And it got worse for the home side as Jordi Gómez made it 3-0 in the 44th minute with another bullet into the top corner from the edge of the box.
But Forest never gave up and they hit back immediately after the break thanks to a Cox blast.
The Irish international controlled a long ball from goalkeeper Lee Camp, nutmegged a defender before thundering a right foot shot past Ali Al-Habsi.
