Wigan manager Steve Bruce picked up his first Premier League point for his new side after presiding over a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester City.

The visitors took the lead after just 35 seconds as Geovanni punished a mistake from Titus Bramble, but a header from Paul Scharner on 25 minutes restored parity.

It was an anxious climax for the home fans at the JJB Stadium however after they saw their side reduced to ten men due to Mario Melchiot's ugly lunge at Stephen Ireland.

The meeting between the Premier League's seventh and eighth-placed sides finished goalless as Portsmouth and Everton each took a point from Fratton Park.

The spoils were also shared at the Madejski Stadium where Middlesbrough snatched a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Reading.

Steve Coppell's side had taken the lead through Dave Kitson nine minutes after the restart and it had looked to be enough for the Royals before Turkish striker Tuncay Sanli nodded in his first Boro goal on 83 minutes.

Blackburn fought back from a goal down to register a 3-1 win at home to Newcastle.

Obafemi Martins had given under-pressure manager Sam Allardyce a glimpse of a much-needed win with a deft header on 47 minutes.

However two goals from David Bentley put the hosts ahead before Tugay wrapped up the win with a close-range finish.

The former Arsenal winger's first was a deadly accurate free-kick before he drilled in a fine second to complete the comeback.
