Manchester City 3 points clear once again

It wasn’t pretty, but a solitary Edin Dzeko goal was enough to earn Manchester City a hard-fought 1-0 win away to the Premier League’s bottom side, Wigan.

Yes, Manchester City ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Wigan in [...]

You know what they say, football is a funny old game. It was just two months ago when Roberto Martinez’ Wigan caused one of the biggest shocks of the season by beating Premier League leaders Chelsea 3-1 at the DW Stadium.
