Play by play

  1. 93'

    Wigan look destined for the Championship after two heavy, heavy defeats. Two games played, ten goals conceded, no goals scored. Oh dear...

  2. 93'

    Can anyone stop Chelsea this season? It may be early days, but they already look unstoppable.

  3. 93'

    <b>FULL TIME</b> Chelsea make an unbelievable start to the Premier League season. So do Wigan, for all the wrong reasons...

  4. 93'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Yossi Benayoun scores his first goal for Chelsea!</b> Six points, and two six nil wins in their first two games. Paulo Ferreira gets in behind the defence, he pulls back to Benayoun who slots home. Too easy.

  5. 91'

    Kalou is desperately trying to score a third! He bursts away from Alcaraz, however the angle is too tight for the Ivorian and Kirkland makes a save.

  6. 90'

    <b>THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>

  7. 89'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Kalou has his second now!</b> Drogba floats in an absolutely glorious cross after a pull back from Cole. Kalou ran across his marker and flicked the ball beyond Kirkland.

  8. 88'

    Salomon Kalou looked to be running through for a second, until Emmerson Boyce make a fantastic last-ditch tackle.

  9. 87'

    It may be very early in the season, but it already looks like being a long, hard slog for Wigan. They've been taken apart by two teams, at home, in their first two games.

  10. 86'

    We approach the final whistle, and there has yet to be a single corner. Could this be a Premier League first?

  11. 84'

    Figueroa looks in some discomfort as he is carried off. For Wigan, it never rains, it pours...

  12. 83'

  13. 82'

    The stretcher is on and it's not looking good for Figueroa.

  14. 81'

    Comedy defending from Alcaraz and Figueroa. They conspire to allow Drogba past them both, luckily for Wigan Kirkland reacts well to clear. Unluckily for Figueroa the goalkeeper takes out the Honduran and he is down looking hurt.

  15. 80'

  16. 79'

  18. 77'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Kalou makes it four!</b> Fantastic play by Drogba! With his back to goal he easily slips past Alcaraz and streaks clear of the defence. Through on goal with Kalou to his left, he passes to his compatriot for a simple finish.

  19. 76'

    Wigan look like they'd rather be anywhere else. Even when they're in possession they look like they don't want it. It could be a long season for the latics.

  20. 74'

    N'Zogbia with some neat foot work to take him past Ashley Cole. His left foot shot is a decent one, but he's unable to bend it inside the far post.

  21. 73'

    Drogba in again and Wigan are waiting for the full-time whistle now. He is under no pressure as he dances to the byline. His effort from the tight angle is eventually gathered by Kirkland.

  22. 72'

    Chelsea with a shot on target for the first time in a while. Essien links accidentally with Kalou before firing low at Kirkland. Drogba then literally walks into the box and wastes an excellent chance by dragging his shot wide.

  23. 70'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Salomon Kalou on for Florent Malouda</b>

  24. 70'

    Drogba tries to go under the wall, Wigan are wise to it and the shot is blocked.

  25. 69'

    Drogba is standing over a free kick 30 yards from goal. Can he find the net?
