    Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers.

    Bolton suffered a huge blow to their promotion hopes as Wigan completed a Sky Bet League One double over their neighbours thanks to a Stephen Humphrys goal at the DW Stadium.

    Bolton created the first chance when Paris Maghoma burst his way past Luke Chambers only to be denied by Sam Tickle.

    The visitors were then hampered by the loss of Carlos Mendes Gomes to injury in pretty innocuous fashion, but they continued to boss proceedings.

    And defender Eoin Toal had two great chances, heading over from a right-wing cross before seeing a long-range strike well saved by Tickle.

    During Wigan's 1-0 win over Bolton, referee John Busby managed to accidentally catch Bolton's Paris Maghoma whilst signalling for a free-kick, sending the Brentford loanee to the ground!

    The second half was the same story as Nathaniel Ogbeta's shot was tipped round the post by Tickle, who then turned away a dangerous free-kick by Josh Sheehan.

    At this point, Wigan had not registered an attempt on goal, but that changed on 69 minutes when substitute Humphrys - who had scored twice in August's 4-0 away win - played a one-two with Chambers before prodding the ball under Joel Coleman.

    Wigan had chances to kill off the game too, with Thelo Aasgaard's volley forcing a brilliant save from Coleman before another substitute, Martial Godo, poked the ball just wide.

    Bolton had a great chance to level with two minutes to go, only for Ricardo Santos to head wide from four yards, with most of the players on the pitch being embroiled in a melee on the full-time whistle.
