An amazing and important win for Bolton who will breathe easier in the table after defeating Wigan.
The game started shaping up after Elmander opened the scoreline. Both teams were playing positive football and both could have scored first, but it was the Swede who managed to do it. And the psychological advantage over Wigan was clear, especially after the half-time break. Wigan’s team-talk did not work and the game restarted with a penalty for Bolton, which Kevin Davies converted with ease. From then on, it was easy for Bolton to keep control of the match, and Muamba and Taylor each got into the scoresheet and made the final result 4-0.
