Manchester United and Chelsea won their respective games against Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic on Saturday and after the game they are still separated by 6 points. Both had comfortable wins. Man United defeated Aston Villa at Villa Park by 3 goals to 1. Chelsea had a better home game against struggling Wigan who lost their sixth consecutive game in the premier league.
Arjen Robben was selected as the man of the match after the Chelsea - Wigan match. The one sided match saw Chelsea going ahead with a Lampard free kick on 13th minute. Krikland, the goal keeper of Wigan miscalculated the the slow curving shot from Lampard. It could have been easily saved if he moved a bit to the left, but he left it to his defenders to head and they did nothing, making Kirkland look like a comic character, when the ball slowly landed on the left corner of the goal. Wigan never recovered from that. Robben scored again in the 63rd minute. This time the blunder was created by a back pass from Haestad. The ball was meant for the goal keeper but reached Robben who dribbled it past the diving Kirkland to make it 2-0. He did another wonder on the 70th minute, his pass was diverted to the goal by Kirkland, another blunder by the goal keeper. The last blow came late into injury time. Drogba scored with a powerful header to make the score 4-0. Another humiliating defeat for Wigan as Paul Jewel, the manager, went to the dressing room, thinking what went wrong with his team this season.
Manchester United's away win against Villa is the third against them in four weeks. Villa were defeated in the FA cup last week by the Red Devils. This time the first goal was scored by Ji Sung Park. The South Korean Star scored after consecutive attempts and still the ball reaching him. That was on 11th minute. Two minute later, Park set up, Michael Carrick for his first goal for United. Ronaldo scored on the 35th minute, using his head, making it 3-0 before half time. The Villa came back after the break and promised a lot when Agbonlahor scored for them on the 52 minute. But that was the maximum they did. Manchester united showed their composure and skills and never allowed Villa to get back into the game.
