Latics get pre-season off to a flyer with 3-2 win over Swedish outfit

New signing Mauro Boselli was on the mark twice in Latics' first friendly of the pre-season schedule, with Charles N'Zogbia dding a third in a 3-2 win over Swedish side Ostersunds.

Finding the back of the net either side of half-time Boselli gave an early indication of his goal-scoring ability in the friendly encounter that marks the end of an intense training week in Sweden.

N'Zogbia's finish proved to be the winner with the Swedes coming back from 3-0 down to score twice and provide a nervy finish, but Latics' strong performance resulted in a satisfactory start to their pre-season fixtures.

The team prepare to travel home today after a productive week and will get themselves ready for the next game away to Oldham Athletic on Tuesday night where they'll be sporting the new 2010/11 home kit for the first time.
