Wigan strike late to deny high-flying Bolton

RONNIE STAM scored an 80th-minute equaliser to salvage a precious point for Wigan and leave neighbours Bolton bitterly frustrated.

When on-loan Benfica forward Rodrigo Moreno produced a delightful finish to put Owen Coyle’s men ahead in the 54th minute, the stage was set for the Trotters to emerge victorious.

Yet Latics boss Roberto Martinez has fashioned a side with guts. His men refused to lie down and Dutchman Stam, a summer signing from FC Twente, stabbed home at the far post in the 80th minute to claim his first Wigan goal.
