Kamarl Grant had put Bromley ahead inside six minutes.

But Christian Saydee took advantage of good work from Connor Barrett to notch his third goal of the campaign and level the scores on 18 minutes.

Saydee was denied a second goal when Grant Smith made a superb save at point-blank range off K'Marni Miller's left-wing cross.

Miller himself put Latics ahead midway through the first half after Reggie Walsh's shot had been tipped on to the bar by Smith.

After Charlie Gray forced another brilliant save from Smith, George Saville restored parity for Bromley to silence the home fans.

Latics weren't to be denied, however, with on-loan Aston Villa winger Burrowes firing home from close range after Barrett had poked the ball into his path.
