Manchester United 5 - 0 Wigan Athletic Highlights

Having scored five in his last five matches against Wigan, Wayne Rooney continued his irresistible form at present applying a deft finish to Rafael’s right wing cross to put United ahead after 28 minutes. After breaking the deadlock United quickly doubled their advantage when a second attack down the hosts right, this time lead by Antonio Valencia, was comfortably tucked home on the cutback by Michael Carrick. Wigan were dead and buried at the break as young Brazilian fullback Rafael da Silva netted his first of the season spinning in the Latics boss and finding the bottom corner.

The match started to become a question of how many five minutes after the break as Valencia again broke down the right and his cross was nonchalantly stabbed home by Dimitar Berbatov. With fifteen minutes to go Antonio Valencia got his goal against his former employers, producing a delightful lifted finish from Rooney’s incisive through-ball.

David N'Gog and Fernando Torres were the men on target for the Reds, with Charles N'Zogbia netting for Wigan.

David Ngog jumped high to glance home an Aurelio cross from the right as Liverpool took an 8th minute lead over Wigan. Dirk Kuyt was denied handing Liverpool a second when Kirkland pulled off a point-blank save. Fernando Torres made sure of the points for Liverpool with a second 11 minutes from time as El Nino ran onto a ball over the top and beat Kirkland after seeing his initial shot blocked by Bramble. A late goal from Charles N’Zogbia proved mere consolation for the Latics.

Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe scored five times to send his side back into the Champions League places as Harry Redknapp's men threatened to rack up double figures against Wigan at White Hart Lane.

Paul Scharner netted a consolation goal for Wigan, who had little chance of a victory with Defoe in such rampant form, with Aaron Lennon, Peter Crouch, David Bentley and Niko Kranjcar grabbing the other goals.

The match was played on a Sunday following an agreement between the clubs so players could rest after the international break - and Defoe seemed the freshest of the players on display by grabbing his goals in the second half.

The Latics punished slack Chelsea defending on the quarter hour, a quick corner between Rodallega and N’Zogbia ended with Titus Bramble heading in Wigan’s opener. Chelsea needed just one second half minute to equalise as Malouda held up the ball up before crossing for Didier Drogba to score (terrible keeping from Kirkland). But then the drama happened, Hugo Rodallega was taken out by Cech in the box, the Chelsea keeper saw red, and Rodallega dusted himself to score from the spot. In injury time Paul Scharner slid in to finish after Maynor Figueroa squared across the six-yard box to sent the home fans ecstatic.

In a match short on chances the breakthrough finally came in the 91st minute when left-back Figueroa headed home Ryan Taylor's corner.
