HONOURS were shared at the JJB Stadium in what was and action packed promotion clash.

Wigan led after just 49 seconds but were denied a win by Scott Taylor's late strike.

Paul Jewell's team should have had the game won by half time but paid a price for a series of missed chances.

Read the riot act

Pool boss Steve McMahon read the riot act at half time. His charges battled manfully for a deserved point.

They created several good openings and were finally rewarded with Taylor's powerful drive.

Wigan thought they should have had a penalty at the death when Liddell went down but referee Graham Laws waved play on.

On reflection, a draw was a fair result ' but Wigan boss Paul Jewell will be keen to get back to winning ways after their second successive home draw.
