Wigan Athletic 2-1 Manchester City

 

Wigan Athletic twice took the lead to beat Manchester City 2-1 at the JJB Stadium.

Amr Zaki scored from the penalty spot  to give Wigan victory.

Referee Steve Bennett gave the spot-kick in the 34th minute after Javier Garrido was deemed to have brought down Wilson Palacios inside the box.

Antonio Valencia had earlier seen his spectacular 16th-minute opening goal cancelled out by Vincent Kompany's close-range finish from an Elano free-kick five minutes later.

It was a good game to watch, unless you are a City fan.
