Manchester United took complete advantage of the point loss by Chelsea by defeating Wigan Athletic at home. The 'Red Devils' are now 5 points clear of the 'Blues' in the title chase. Chelsea was earlier held to a 2-2 draw by newcomers Reading team at Stamford Bridge, courtesy to an own goal from Essien.Manchester United was somewhat held for a 0-0 draw till halftime by the athletic Wigan team. But Fergusen knew what to do. He introduced Christiano Ronaldo early in the second half and it immediately paid off. The portugese wonder boy found yet another wonder goal, but this time using his head. Four minutes later he converted a penalty into his second goal. Goalkeeper Kirkland saved the first weak attempt by Ronaldo, but the rebounded ball reached Ronaldo and he didn't miss the second attempt. Ole Gunner Solskjaer scored the third goal, with great help from Wayne Rooney, as he headed the goal into the path of Solskjaer. The Wigan team tried in vain to get back into the game, but it was too late. Their effort paid off in the form of a consolation penalty kick and a goal. The final score read 3-1.
