<b>Wigan 1-1 Chelsea</b>. The Blues made to pay for being complacenct after Sturridge had scored the game's first goal. Massive credit must go to Wigan - they kept battling and were duly rewarded when a stinker from Cech gifted Gomez an equaliser. Will the knives be out for AVB again?
- 94'
The DW Stadium faithful roaring their side on. But it's all over...
- 93'
Shot from Kalou straight into Al-Habsi's grateful grasp.
- 92'
Moses speeds away having been fed by Rodallega, he looks for Di Santo unmarked in the middle. Di Santo pulled back it seemed but the ref shakes his head. Was close to the edge of the box, and would have probably been a red for Bosingwa if the ref had given the foul.
- 91'
Wigan certainly looking the hungrier of the two sides. Stam crosses again towards Di Santo. He heads it wide again and was penalised for climbing over Bosingwa.
- 90'
Stam's cross is met by Di Santo but he can't direct it goalwards.
- 90'
Wigan still pouring forward, they're chasing all three points.
- 89'
Well, Chelsea punished for being poor and unadventurous since scoring their opener.
- 88'
<b>Wigan 1-1 Chelsea</b> Four in five games for Gomez. Cech spilled it straight into his path from Rodallega's tame toe poke. A howler.

- 86'
Malouda with a good piece of trickery to elude a couple of opponents but his final shot is dragged wide.
- 85'
Chelsea being forced to defend resolutely at present, but another move breaks down for Wigan.
- 83'
Caldwell lobs a pass towards Moses, who lays it off to Di Santo. The Argentinian scoops it over, but Moses had used his arm anyway.
- 82'
The Latics attempting to build things up patiently.
- 82'
Lampard ponderous on the ball and Wigan continue to press.
- 81'
Malouda of course was the match-winner in the last meeting between these sides back in April. That was 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, this one is heading for 1-0 as well at the moment.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Malouda on for Sturridge.
- 79'
Malouda about to come on and that means no Fernando Torres this evening. Is that the confidence boost that Villas-Boas promised to give his striker? An interesting motivational technique indeed.
- 78'
Wigan really looking buoyed after that Ivanovic error.
- 77'
Sturridge the latest Chelsea player to be felled, getting a knee to the back from Figueroa.
- 76'
Cech prevented the corner from being taken for a good minute as he was down injured on all fours. I wonder if Chelsea have any knee masks in their kit bag...
- 75'
Ivanovic passes it back to Cech, completely underhits it and Rodallega almost took it off the goalkeeper. Cech did really well to get a block in, it was really brave. A shot came in as it fell to Di Santo but it was deflected out for a corner.
