WIGAN Athletic face an FA Cup third-round replay on the south coast after being held by the League One outfit.
The Cherries had led at the break after Eunan O’Kane cracked a beauty past Mike Pollitt from 25 yards.
But Latics received a lifeline at the three-quarter mark when Maynor Figueroa was fouled inside the area by Simon Francis.
Jordi Gomez’s spot-kick was saved by Shwan Jalal, but the Spaniard reacted quickest to fire home the rebound.
Figueroa and half-time substitute Angelo Henriquez had earlier hit the bar, but Bournemouth more than deserved their second bite at the cherry.
