Dzeko's goal is decisive, then. A peculiar game really, with numerous errors on show, and the odd fit of quality. Wigan lacked that final punch, while City were far from their swashbuckling best. But a win's a win, and they return to three points clear of United.

<b>FULL-TIME: Wigan 0-1 Manchester City.</b>

They do, but Hart has it in his hands.

One last chance to hoof it...

30 seconds remain...

"City are holding on," says the commentator. That isn't true.
- 90'
Wigan upping the ante-ish. But Lescott continues to look very assured as another Latics attack comes to nothing.

Four minutes of added time will be played.
- 89'
By the way, it was surely a clear goalscoring chance as Aguero was about to speed through. So, should have been a red.
- 88'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Oh, Maynor Figueroa, you jester. A looping ball threatens to send Aguero in, but Figueroa denies him. How does he deny him? By handling it, quite blatantly, simply lifting a hand over his head and palming it away. He is then booked.
- 87'
De Jong offers little but tackling.
- 86'
Wigan's set-pieces have been hugely wasteful.
- 85'
Ah! So nearly 2-0 and it would have been lovely, erm, too. City work it slickly and Aguero is threaded through by Milner, but the Argentine drags his shot wide, when he should have buried.
- 84'
Caldwell's passing: stinks the place out.
- 83'
Save! Dzeko bangs one and it nicks off a defender. Al-Habsi is forced to readjust and tip over in style.
- 82'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Onuoha is on for City, replacing Silva. Booo to that decision.

- 79'
Corner for City, who smell a decisive second.
- 78'
They opt against my suggestion, and instead do little passes.
- 77'
Barry goes down rather softly, but the ref buys it. Chance for City to deliver into the box.
- 76'
Pffft, it's cleared.
- 75'
Corner to Wigan, Hart needlessly tipping a shot wide.
