Wigan v Chelsea 3-1

And that was the sound of Chelsea’s juggernaut status grinding to an abject halt. Wigan managed to get their first ever victory against Chelsea.

Titus Bramble brought Wigan into the lead by heading a corner kick down to the front of the goal line where it bounced in past Cech who was clear on the other side of the goal. Bramble had not scored a goal in ten months.

Early in the second half Drogba brought the score level again with a cross from Malouda and at this point Chelsea fans were probably not worrying much. Oh, good old Chelsea, giving us all heart attacks until that last minute flick into the goal by Drogba, Anelka, or any of other eleven men. Except, Cech was given a red card for tripping Rodallega in his penalty area and off he went despite the kind of Chelsea uproar that would make G20 protester’s seem like wallflowers.

Chelsea were then reduced to nine men as Ashley Cole went off for an injury and all the Blues substitutes had been used at that point.

At 76 minutes Rodallega zoomed in a penalty kick from 25-yards and another Wigan goal was scored in stoppage time when Scharner punched in a cross from Figueroa. There will certainly be some celebrating in Northwest England tonight.
