Bolton Wanderers midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker explained his wild goal celebrations during the win against Wigan Athletic.

Such was his relief at having got the afternoon off to a flying start, Reo-Coker wasted no time milking the applause from the 4,000 Whites fans after his first goal for the club.

"It was pure aggression," he told The Bolton News. "At 1-0 up it's not for us to sit on the lead - it's about getting back to the centre circle and showing that we mean business. I didn't think about anything else.

"We've had a very intense 10 days of training because of the international break and gone right back to basics. Simple team-work, unity, going with our runners and it paid off."
