Play by play
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> City on cruise for most of it and they very nearly paid the price. But for Al Habsi's howler and Sammon's miss at the end, they may well have ended up with nothing. As it is, they close the gap on Arsenal to four points but they have played a game more.
- 93'
<b>Sammon's missed a glorious chance!</b> A great move, he picks up Rodallega's ball and is on the corner of the six yards box but fires wide of the far post! That was the chance for Wigan.
- 92'
City look knackered now. They'll be very happy with three points tonight.
- 91'
City trying to eat up the clock.

Four minutes added....
- 89'
What a chance for Rodallega! The ball fell to him 18 yards out but his left footed effort is weak and Hart gets across to save.
- 88'
Good burst from McCarthy but N'Zogbia's ball into the box is cleared.
- 87'
Will we see a late surge from Wigan?
- 86'

- 82'
N'Zogbia makes space for the shot but that is not one of his best.
- 81'
Figueroa ends a marauding Toure run by conceding a corner.
- 80'
Barry gets away with an awful pass, right to Cleverly. Kompany helps him out.
- 79'
Surely Wigan will have to throw caution to the wind here. They are bottom after all.
- 78'
City's fans do the Poznan....
- 77'
Ipswich have just gone 2-0 up at Cardiff. Jimmy Bullard with both goals. Two minutes left there.
- 76'
Caldwell does extremely well to rectify his mistake of handing the ball to Silva by blocking his goalbound shot.
- 75'
Terrible ball in from Kolarov, who has looked well off the pace since coming on.
- 74'
Kolarov has a go on goal and that looked like it struck Gohouri's arm, which was hanging out.
- 72'
Martinez will be furious if Wigan lose to Al Habsi's mistake. They've been worthy of a point, no question.
- 71'
A nice break from City as Tevez and Toure combine but then Kolarov gets involved and the move drops stone dead as he blasts a pass way off target and out of play.
- 70'
A clash of heads between Gohouri and Zabaleta. Plenty for Atwell to deal with at present.
- 69'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Wigan make a change too as Gohouri comes on for Lopez.
- 68'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Balotelli's race is run, Kolarov will take his place.
- 67'
N'Zogbia tries to slot Rodallega through but he is offside.
