Wigan 1 Bolton 1

-

BOLTON boss Ian Evatt was seething after Wigan were allowed to keep 11 men on the field.

James McClean had given the hosts a seventhmin­ute lead, but was then cautioned for bringing down Wanderers winger Oladapo Afolayan.

Moments before halftime, McClean again felled Afolayan, only for referee Samuel Barrott to decide against brandishin­g a second yellow.

Bolton levelled eight minutes from time through Jon Dadi

Bodvarsson (below), but Evatt was incensed with McClean avoiding an early bath. “I don’t see how it isn’t a yellow,” he said. “The whole stadium knew it.”

“Dapo got there first and played the ball around James and Dapo was going in towards goal.”

Opposite number Leam Richardson felt the referee got the big decision right. “I thought both sets of fans and players were excellent,” he said. I didn’t think there was a tackle that deserved to make it an uneven game.”
