Bakary Sako has scored four of his five goals this season at Molineux

Wigan's winless run was extended to six games as Bakary Sako rescued a point for Wolves at Molineux.

Dave Edwards was unmarked as he headed Wolves in front from Rajiv van La Parra's cross.

The Latics were level two minutes later when James Perch headed in from close range before Marc-Antoine Fortune put the visitors ahead right on half-time.

But Mali international Sako struck from the edge of the area after James Henry had missed Scott Golbourne's corner.

The point means Wolves stay one spot outside the play-off places on goal difference, while Wigan are just three points and one place above the relegation zone.

There were few chances in the opening period of the game until Edwards got the first goal.

Wigan's winless run Wigan have won just twice all season, against fellow strugglers Blackpool (1-0) and Birmingham City (4-0). They have won none of their last six games, drawing three and losing three. They began the season with a draw and two losses in the Championship, as well as losing 2-1 at League Two side Burton in the League Cup.

The Welsh international, who was recalled to the starting line-up after being on the bench for the last two games, found himself unmarked 12 yards out and coolly headed home van La Parra's ball into the box.

And the poor defending continued two minutes later as former Newcastle defender Perch rose above a static Wolves defence to nod in Shaun Maloney's free-kick from two yards out.

The goal galvanised the visitors, who took control of the game, as Andrew Taylor whipped in a cross that left which evaded two Wolves defenders and found Fortune, who fired a rising drive past Carl Ikeme.

Wolves began the second half stronger and former Wigan striker Nouha Dicko and Sako both went close before Sako got the equaliser.

Henry took a swing at Golbourne's corner from the left and missed the ball before it ran to Sako, who side-footed home from the edge of the area through a crowded goalmouth.

Wolves searched for a winner as Scott Carson tipped away an Edwards header, while Matt Doherty headed against the bar in the 87th minute.

Wolves manager Kenny Jackett: "I think, with regard to a possible move for Bakary Sako, that is the case with any player. If someone is very, very good in the Championship then they are vulnerable to the next set of clubs going forward.

"Gareth Bale still got bought by Real Madrid. There is always somebody that can do well enough for the next set of clubs to take them. But it is not something that we want. We are happy with him here and long may it continue."

Wigan manager Uwe Rosler: "This is a difficult place to come and we had a game plan that worked well.

"I think we frustrated them in many ways. But when we won the ball we weren't as good as we can be. The first goal should not be conceded at our level but we responded very well. Overall I would say it is a fair point."
