Last night, Manchester United narrowly beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 to claim three more Premier League points. Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United started well as Wayne Rooney tapped home from a Cristiano Ronaldo cross. Manchester United dominated the opening half hour and Tevez should really should have put his side up 2-0 midway through the first half.

Despite their nervy start, Wigan showed their resilience in the second half and put Manchester United under pressure during the second half. Manchester United, however, showed why they are the Premier League title holders and managed to hold on to claim three valuable points.

Manchester United are now two points behind Liverpool with a game in hand and have been made firm favourites to land their third Premier League title in a row.
