Review:
We looked tired today and a little limp, probably after three games in 8 days, but Wigan looked just as tired due to their schedule. They fought well today, but Tobias Fugureido's headed goal was superb. He put a corner right into the top corner of Wigan's goal to give Jamie Jones no chance. Fifteen minutes later Brice Samba made a great penalty save that kept us on top as he continues to exude such confidence. Player of the Year already?
