The Republic of Ireland striker's all-round contribution was equally impressive, as he dovetailed nicely up top with Callum Lang and Nathan Broadhead.

It was a performance that had his manager purring about the possibilities that lie ahead.

"Will has unbelievable talent," said Toure.

"For me, he is a player who can play different positions, and always be in there to score goals.

"I'm very, very excited what he can bring to this team, definitely."

Latics moved up two places to fifth bottom in the Championship table.

They now have an extended break before returning to action against Sheffield United at home on Monday week.
