Who would believe that this Wigan lost 4-0 to Arsenal last weekend? The same Wigan Athletic pulled off a memorable 3-1 victory over Chelsea today. The dramatic Wigan victory also saw Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech sent off for pulling down Hugo Rodallega in the box.
Chelsea started off pretty well in the game and threatened Wigan half on a number of times. However, the visitors were left stunned when Titus Bramble put the home side ahead in the match against the run of the game. Didier Drogba brought Chelsea back into the game with an equalizer just two minutes into the second half. No doubt, Wigan goalkeeper Kirkland must take the responsibility of the game as he failed to control Drogba’s not-harmful shot.
Then came the Cech red card drama that also awarded a penalty to Wigan and striker Hugo Rodallega did not make any mistake to bring another lead to Wigan. Henrique Hilario came to keep the post as Malouda went off the pitch. Chelsea tried hard to get another equalizer, but they suffered another goal in the injury time as Scharner ensured three points for Wigan from the game.
