Leon Barnett expressed his frustration with an ecstatic Hulk-like celebration after his late leveller salvaged a point for Wigan Athletic.
The FA Cup winners were moments away from defeat in Owen Coyle's first home match in charge against Doncaster Rovers, but Barnett stabbed in Marc-Antoine Fortuné's cross for a 2-2 draw in the 90th minute.
Grant Holt and Chris McCann forced decent stops out of Ross Turnbull in the opening exchanges before Shaun Maloney struck a post.

You wouldn't like him if he was angry
Despite the early dominance, Doncaster went 2-0 up through Theo Robinson and Chris Brown goals before the break.
A trademark Maloney free-kick halved the deficit and Barnett grabbed the glory at the death.
Billy Paynter came on for Rovers before play restarted again and he almost made the ultimate impact, guiding his header on to the top of the crossbar with Carson beaten.
