Match report Wigan 4-0 Newcastle

Wigan took a huge step towards premier League survival and put a dent in Newcastles Champions league hopes with a 4-0 thrashing at a rocking DW stadium.

The game started in a open fashion with both teams looking dangerous going forward especially wigan who where creating chances at will.

In the thirteenth minuite wigan's pressure payed when a Emmerson Boyce cross found Victor Moses in the box and he hedded in to give the latics a well deserved lead.

It didnt stop there. Just two minuites later Wigan where at it again Moses again the scorer, stabbing in after a Jean Beausejour cross caused havoc in the box.

Shaun Maloney was at the centre of everything Wigan where doing and he got his reward after a lovely passing move came to Maloney who finished cooly. Newcastle's confiedence was draining by the second.

Franco di santo was running the show up front and he was working as hard as ever up front. And he got his goal after lobbing Tim Krul from the edge of the box. Just before the half time whistle whitch everyone connected to Newcastle United was glad to here. Especially Alan Pardew!

The second half started in a similar way and wigan shouldve added to their lead when Jean Beausejour crossed it to make a huge scramble in the box whitch nor Moses or Mccarthy chould finish off.

Papiss Cisse should of pulled one back for Newcastle but his header bounded against Ali al Habsi's bar before Hatem Ben Arfa shot just wide and Demba Ba forced a great safe of Al Habsi.

But it was wigan who should of added a fith goal Conor Sammon managed to get behind the Newcastle defence after playing a swift one two with Shaun Maloney but his shot was cleared of the line by Farbincio Collichini but 4-0 it stayed!
