Wigan Athletic: How they rated v Bolton Wanderers
Wigan Athletic (4-2-3-1):
Christian Walton: 7 - Made a couple of brilliant saves at crucial stages to ensure his return to the side was a winning one.
Nathan Byrne: 8 - Tireless shift down the right, laid on the fifth goal and a coat of paint away from his first goal for the club.

Hide AdCedric Kipre: 7 - Restored to the side and stood up strong against physical Wanderers attack. Headed a good chance over.
Chey Dunkley: 7 - Normal service resumed after shaky display at Blackburn, looks happier with Kipre alongside him.
Antonee Robinson: 7 - Fantastic energy and pace gives Latics an added dimension down the left, some good crosses.
Reece James: 8 - Donaldson trying to shoulder-barge him off the ball - and ending up on the deck - says it all. Imperious again.

Hide AdSam Morsy: 8 - Managing to retain his bite in midfield while remaining out of trouble, should have scored goal his display warranted.
* Michael Jacobs: 9 - Set the tone with two brilliant early runs. Scored one, assisted two, could have scored three more. Just brilliant. *
Nick Powell: 8 - Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Assist for Massey’s goal was textbook Powell, and scored the third - bizarre - goal.
Gavin Massey: 8 - Presence down the flank has been badly missed this season, scored second goal at a crucial time.

Hide AdJoe Garner: 9 - Got Latics off to a flyer and won absolutely everything in the air against defenders twice his size. New fans’ favourite.
Subs:
Josh Windass (for Powell, 71): 7 - Put himself about and kept up the tempo.
Leon Clarke (for Garner, 71): 7 - Picked up where Garner left off, and rounded off the scoring with fine header.
Darron Gibson (for Massey, 83): Extra protection in front of the backline.
