Wigan could manage only a draw in the FA Cup fourth-round as they faced a Bolton side at the Reebok Stadium, Trotters goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen made several fines saves, denying Jordi Gomez’s long-range efforts and Callum McManaman’s fine shot late on.

Bolton’s Johan Elmander fired over early in the match, while Martin Petrov went close with a low drive.

And in the final 10 minutes, Bolton debutant David Wheater shot just wide.

Wigan athletic striker Mauro Boselli is set to be sent out on a loan deal in order to gain experience in the English league. The striker, 25, has struggled since joining from Estudiantes in the summer and said this week that he was going to Genoa, although this is unconfirmed.

“At the moment I feel that for Mauro to play five months in Italy or Spain, it will be what he needs,” said Latics manager Roberto Martinez.

“Then we’ll get the real Mauro that’s going to be a massive asset for us.”

Wigan athletic managed to secure a vital win against Wolverhampton Wanderers that took them to safety. Rodallega hooked in acrobatically from the edge of the six-yard box to put Wigan ahead as Wolves failed to clear.

The Colombian then played a delightful through ball for Tom Cleverley to slot between keeper Wayne Hennessey’s legs.

Wolves pressed after the break but although substitute Steven Fletcher bundled in a late goal Wigan held on.

Wigan athletic manager Roberto Martinez has said that his side could have won against Everton. Everton dominated the majority of the match but Martinez’s team were denied an injury-time winner when Tim Howard superbly foiled Ronnie Stam from point-blank range.

Third bottom Wigan produced a dogged defensive display to keep Everton at bay, although the Toffees came unstuck themselves by wasting a host of good chances.

Joe Cole and Salomon Kalou have been linked to the Toffees in the January transfer window.

Wigan athletic were defeated by a West Ham side, even though the side has been in recent run of form. Martinez needed a win as muchas West Ham but that likelihood receded even further when the Hammers doubled their lead. Piquionne touched the ball off to Victor Obinna, who showed more accuracy than he had done previously all season by drilling his shot across Al-Habsi inside the far corner.

But West Ham were not over the line yet. No sooner had Franco di Santo come off than his replacement was handed an opportunity to get Wigan back into the game.
