Match Report Wigan 1-0 Manchester United

One of the shocks of the season came as Wigan provided a huge boost to their survival hopes and maybe opened up the title race to both Manchester teams

The game started in a end to end fashion but Wigan where winning all the 50-50's and where starting to take control of the game with James Macarthy and James Macarthur running the midfield for the Latics.

On the half our mark Victor Moses had a clear goal dissalowed after a great Shaun Maloney corner.

Straight after the break Wigans pressure paid off Jean Beausejour and Shaun Maloney playing a lovely one two on the edge of the box and then smashing the ball into David De Geas net to send the Dw into raptures.

The closest united came in the spell after was a Wayne Rooney shot whitch just went over shortly after rooney was replaced. Wigan chould of doubeld their lead when Conor Sammon went down the wing and pulled it back for Momo Diame who hit his shot straight at De Gea

United players where addament that Figueroa had handeld the ball in the box but according to the Reff Phil Dowd and linesman there was nothing doing and 1-0 it stayed.

Man of the match.
Wigans Shaun Maloney
