Abbot strike earns Latics big win

13 February 2010 18:31
The Latics dominated the visitors throughout but had to wait until the 78th minute for their breakthrough as Abbott headed in his ninth goal of the season.[LNB]Walsall created only one chance of note, with Dwayne Mattis heading just off target in the third minute.[LNB]Oldham then seized control as Chris Taylor and Jason Price went close before Abbott brought a fine save from Clayton Ince.[LNB]The defiant keeper passed further tests from Price and Dean Furman and Walsall had an escape as Deane Smalley's header flashed across goal.[LNB]Oldham deservedly broke through when Taylor sent over a pinpoint left-wing cross and Abbott nodded beyond the helpless Ince from eight yards.[LNB][LNB][LNB]
