In the only Monday match of the English Premier League, the leader "Man City" narrowly defeated "Wigan" with a score of 1-0.

The only goal in the first half was scored by Bosnian Edin Dzeko with a header after a pass from David Silva. The visitors had opportunities to double the lead, but goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi denied Dzeko's attempt and also blocked a follow-up attempt from Silva.
