Man City hosted Wigan in the evening kick-off in the Premier League on Saturday. The team had been hit with the suspension of their captain, Kolo Toure, as he tested positive after a doping test. Apparently the Ivorian accidentally took the discovered substance as a result of using his wife’s slimming pills.
His side did not start well, with the visitors enjoying the better of the play for most of the first half. However, when David Silva shot before the break, the opposing ‘keeper was unable to complete a simple save, allowing the ball to go through him a trickle over the line.
That gave City the advantage, but they were unable to take hold of the game in the second period. Despite their wealth of talent and expensive players, there was a lack of quality which allowed Wigan to stay in the game. However, neither side could find another breakthrough before the final whistle, so City took the three points, 1 – 0.
The afternoon matches resulted in important wins for West Brom, West Ham and Fulham, but Arsenal could only draw as they look to catch Manchester United in the race for the title.
