Match Commentary
93' FULL-TIME: Chelsea snatch victory with almost the final kick of the game. Wigan will be desperately upset, but they can be fantastically proud of their effort in their Premiership debut. |
93' Mourinho wanders over to opposite number Jewell, and embraces him. He seems to be offering the Wigan boss a few words of comfort and respect; a great show of sportsmanship from the Chelsea manager. |
92' GOAL! Heartbreak for Wigan, as Crespo collects the ball on the edge of the area, cuts on to his left foot and fires an unstoppable shot in to the top corner of the net. |
