Between them Jarrod Bowen (left) and Kamil Grosicki have scored six of Hull City's eight league goals this season

Teenager Joe Gelhardt's first goal in professional football rescued a point for Wigan at fellow strugglers Hull City.

The 17-year-old, making just his fourth senior appearance, had only been on the pitch for three minutes when he fired home a well-struck equaliser.

The visitors had taken an early lead when centre-half Chey Dunkley scored on the rebound from close range but the hosts quickly levelled thanks to Jarrod Bowen's fifth of the season.

Kamil Grosicki gave the Tigers the lead when he smashed in a wonderful free-kick from the edge of the area before the break but they ultimately had to settle for a share of the points.

The draw did little to get either team's season going, with both having won just once in their opening seven league games.

Grosicki's fine strike looked like it would be enough to give Grant McCann's side all three points, but England Under-17 international Gelhardt linked up well with Jamal Lowe before finishing expertly.

The hosts had chances to put the game to bed but former Hull keeper David Marshall saved well from another Grosicki free-kick before Charlie Mulgrew blocked Tom Eaves' follow-up.

The Latics, still looking for their first win since the opening day of the season, host Charlton next Saturday, while the Tigers travel to Luton.

Hull manager Grant McCann:

"I'm frustrated with the result as we created enough opportunities to win. To score two goals at home, we should be winning the game.

"The first goal we were annoyed about, but the second one was really, really frustrating for us. We should have defended it much better.

"It feels a bit like a defeat, to be honest, as we had opportunities to kill the game."

Wigan manager Paul Cook on Gelhardt:

"He's got that unique talent to find space in a telephone box.

"A lot of young footballers coming into the game are not very nice people. We're just lucky to have a boy with his humility playing for us - the game is easy for him.

"I enjoyed watching us play. We were full value for at least a point."
