Perfect win for United

Manchester United won the game against Wigan at home, with the same margin that they had in the reverse fixture of this game. Rooney, Carrick, Rafael, Berbatov and Valencia scored in 5-0 win to secure second position in the premier league at the end of this year.

As expected Manchester United dominated the game and the night became worse for the away team as their goal keeper Chris Kirkland got injured and couldn't continue after the first half.

United players started scoring in 28th minute when Rooney scored his 14th goal of the season. After 4 minutes Carrick swept in and Rafael added one more just before the half time. The game was virtually over at 45 minutes.

In the second half nothing changed and United players got the full control of the game in midfield. Berbatov and Valencia added to the score in 50th and 75th minute.

Now Wigan is just one point ahead of the last three in the table. They have the worst goal difference of -23 in this season.

In another game Arsenal defeated Portsmouth 4-1 (the same margin they had in the reverse fixture).
