Swede strikes twice at Stadium of Light, Boyce rewards Wigan backers, Fuller keeps his cool and ever-present Friedel is unbeaten.

Wigan Athletic were backed at [8.8] as they came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 - a scoreline matched at [22.0] in the correct score market.

The Baggies took the lead early in the second-half when Ishmael Miller capitalised on a mistake by Titus Bramble but Henri Camara's clinical finish and Emerson Boyce's powerful header gave Steve Bruce his first back-to-back wins as Wigan manager and brought value for those who backed Over 2.5 goals at [7.0].

Roy Keane found nothing to celebrate in his 100th game in charge of Sunderland as the Mackens lost at home to a Bolton Wanderers side who traded at [10.0].

Djibril Cisse was an [8.0] first goalscorer as he put the home side in the front after 11 minutes, firing past Jussi Jaaskelainen from an acute angle.

Seven minutes later, Bolton were level as Matthew Taylor's header looped over Craig Gordon. Gary Cahill put the trotters ahead before John Elmander scored two goals either side of half-time to make it 1-4 and reward those who backed Over 4.5 goals at [12.0].

Marlon King was backed at [10.0] to be first goalscorer at the Britannia Stadium before his swivel and smash into the top corner put Hull ahead on the stroke of half-time. Ricardo Fuller won and converted a penalty for Stoke in the second half to earn a draw - matched at [4.5]. 1-1 was backed at [7.8] in the Correct Score market.

On the day he surpassed the top-flight record for consecutive appearances, Brad Friedel was unbeaten in the Aston Villa goal as they drew 0-0 at home to Fulham. The draw was matched [4.0] while the 0-0 touched [14.0].

The 0-0 between Newcastle and Middlesborough was a [15.0] correct score and the draw was backed at [3.7].
