81 mins: Kilbane's free-kick is high, wide and handsome.

67 mins: Bolton think they have scored. Davies had a free header from point-blank range, but it somehow stayed out. The ball did seem to strike Brown's arm on the line. It could well have been a penalty.

GOAL for WIGAN! Heskey's scored.

21 mins: Heskey heads Valencia's back post cross just wide. Half-chance for The Latics.

18 mins: Kirkland gathers Cahill's free-kick into the box at the second attempt.

16 mins: Neither keeper has really been tested yet. Much of the game is being played in the middle of the park.

12 mins: Neither side has really settled yet. Wigan will be up against it having lost Koumas so early on.

10 mins: Valencia's shot from the angle is blocked by Cahill. Half-chance for the home side.

7 mins: The home fans are not happy with referee Steve Tanner and are unhappy with every decision that goes against them.

5 mins: Latics boss Bruce is not happy, but The Latics have lost a man. It looks a little harsh. Koumas is given his marching orders for a late studs-showing challenge on Gary Cahill.
