As indicated by the result mentioned above, Wigan played a great game against Bolton Wanderers and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Midfielder James McClean was the best player on the team with a rating of 9.1 (out of ten) in that game. McClean scored two goals, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
