Ten-man Manchester City needed a brilliant late save from Shay
Given to earn them a point at Wigan's DW stadium.
The dismissal of Pablo Zabaleta for two bookable offences condemned
the Blues to a difficult last 25 minutes. And Hugo Rodallega thought
he has profited with a close-range volley a minute from time, only
for Given to deny him. Wigan might grumble, although City were just
about worthy of a point.
Not that it will save them from a few harsh words from manager
Mark Hughes, who must have been disappointed with a poor first-half
display, in which Charles N'Zogbia put the hosts in front before
Martin Petrov levelled at the start of the second period.
