    Time:90'
    • Burnley
    • Wigan Athletic
    • 90'+5 There goes the final whistle! All over at Turf Moor and Burnley's proud home run comes to an end, largely thanks to Hugo Rodallega's brace!
    • 90'+3 Yellow for Alexander for a frustrated swipe at Gomez.
    • 89' There's five minutes of added time to be played...
    • 88' Time running out now for Burnley to snatch an unlikely point...
    • 86' Rodallega tries to take on Mears... and the Burnley defender concedes a corner.
    • 82' Here comes a change for Burnley... McDonald comes on.
    • 80' OFF THE BAR FROM CARLISLE! It's a looping header from the Burnley defender that bounces onto the top of the Wigan bar!
    • 77' Scharner will play no further part today... he's got a cut to the head and is replaced by Marlon King.
    • 76' GOAL! BOYCE PUTS WIGAN 3-1 AHEAD! It's a simple tap in from the Latics defender after Scharner gets to a corner ahead of Carlisle to flick on at the near post!
    • 73' That's poor defending by Mears as he turns his back on the ball and N'Zogbia, who nearly capitalises.
    • 72' Thomas comes back onto the pitch to a chorus of boos from the home crowd...
    • 70' Hendry is stretchered off the pitch, even though replays show that it was actually the ball that hit him in the face, and not Alexander's boot.
    • 69' Alexander raises his boot on Thomas, who makes the most of it and stays down...
    • 68' Great chance for Eagles as the ball falls to him on the edge of the six-yard box! But he's not anticipating it and his stabbed effort pings away from goal... Nugent really has given the hosts a lift!
    • 67' Nugent has an immediate impact... he gets to the by-line before stabbing a cross over... it falls to Alexander, who fires on goal from a tight angle! Kirkland saves!
    • 66' Time for a change for Burnley now... on comes Nugent at the expense of Blake.
    • 64' Bikey! Not a bad effort from the Burnley man! Kirkland is forced into action, although he's not really going to be troubled from that kind of angle.
    • 61' Carlisle is shown a yellow card for a lunge on Scharner...
    • 60' As the corner is partially cleared, Rodallega goes for goal from distance... way over the bar...
    • 59' Corner to Wigan as Carlisle puts behind... Wigan are doing really well to put the pressure on their hosts...
    • 58' Burnley are looking a bit sloppy at the moment... and the last thing they want to do now is concede another...
    • 55' N'Zogbia! Oooh! The Frenchman gets forward well but fires over Penny's bar!
    • 51' GOAL! RODALLEGA GRABS A SECOND! Gomez plays the ball out wide to Scotland, who pulls it back to Rodallega on the edge of the area.... he cracks it first time and his effort bounces in off the far post! Great strike and Wigan lead 2-1!
    • 50' Burnley win a corner, but it gets caught in the wind a little and Carlisle can't get enough on it to head back towards goal from the far post.
    • 48' Scotland bustles his way through the Wigan defence... but he overruns it slightly and Penny is allowed to come out and claim.
    • 47' EAGLES! Oohh! What a save by Kirkland to deny the Burnley man a great individual strike! The Wigan keeper appears to get a crucial touch on it, but the referee gives a goal kick!
    • 46' Here we go again! Back underway at Turf Moor! No changes to tell you about...
    • 45'+6 Nothing else to report this half and the whistle blows to bring an end to the opening period... the teams head in at the break locked at 1-1!
    • 45'+2 Eagles and Fletcher cause a bit of consternation in the Wigan back line... the Latics just can't get it clear... they do manage to in the end....
    • 45' Six minutes of added time to be played at the first half...
    • 44' Elliot turns his man well... into the box... but his sidefooted effort doesn't beat Kirkland at his near post.
    • 43' Scotland clips forward... Penny is off his line in a shot and claims at the edge of the penalty area... that'll do his confidence no harm at all...
    • 40' It's all a bit scrappy at the moment... but here's a chance for Penny to make his first save of the day, claiming Gomez's effort from the edge of the box.
    • 40' Bikey gets there! But his header goes high and wide of the mark.
    • 39' Eagles centres... it comes off Boyce, who makes a mess of his clearance and Burnley have another corner...
    • 38' Caldwell does well to turn Gomez but he then lets himself down by virtually giving it straight back to the Wigan sub...
    • 36' Scotland is pulled up for a foul on Carlisle... it's a little tug of the shirt...
    • 32' Eagles flies forward but in the end he's crowded out by a posse of Wigan shirts...
    • 31' Rodallega feeds Scotland as Wigan break... but the striker's eventual shot is blocked and Penny isn't brougt into action.
    • 29' Elliot does well to get to the by-line, where he crosses into the middle... headed clear by the Wigan defence...
    • 28' So, N'Zogbia has gone to left-back with Gomez coming into the Latic's midfield.
    • 27' Jordi Gomez comes on to replace him.
    • 26' Wigan are going to make a change as Figueroa hobbles off the pitch injured...
    • 24' Rodallega delivers it... but the whistle goes and it'll have to be taken again... the second one goes short but that's a bad decision and Wigan come away with the ball.
    • 23' Scharner is sandwiched by Carlisle and Mears... and that'll be a free-kick to Wigan...
    • 21' After that hectic opening, the game's just entering a little lull now...
    • 19' The ball pings around in the Wigan box as Burnley keep up a bit of pressure... the visitors get it away in the end.
    • 18' Eagles wins a corner for Burnley... Blake comes across to take it. Carlisle leaps to meet it... it comes off Bramble for another Burnley corner.
    • 16' Jensen hobbles off down the tunnel and is afforded a warm round of applause from his fans.
    • 15' That's a real blow for Burnley... in light of the injury, Jensen can't be blamed for the goal...
    • 14' Jensen can't continue... he hobbles off having made two brilliant saves and let one in after just 11 minutes... Diego Penny comes on to replace him.
    • 13' Jensen will carry on... but he doesn't look comfortable at all... let's just see how he is in a few minutes...
    • 12' Jensen stays down... he's injured! He's clutching his ankle and he may have to come off...
    • 11' GOAL! WIGAN ARE BACK ON LEVEL TERMS! RODALLEGA NETS AFTER A TERRIBLE MISTAKE BY JENSEN! Melchiot plays a hopeful ball into the box, he comes out to claim but then slips and falls to the ground! All Rodallega has to do is slot into an empty net! 1-1!
    • 10' Good riposte from Wigan... two chances hot on the heels of each other...
    • 9' Melchiot! Ooh! That should have been the equaliser as the Wigan skipper comes in unmarked at the far post! But Jensen is equal to it, saving with his legs from the corner!
    • 8' First sight of goal for Wigan as Rodallega lets fly! Jensen has to be sharp to make the save!
    • 6' Diame lets fly from distance but it's well wide from the Frenchman...
    • 5' What a start for the hosts! That's just what they wanted and Wigan have an even steeper hill to climb now.
    • 4' GOAL! BURNLEY TAKE THE LEAD THROUGH FLETCHER! Turf Moor erupts! Robbie Blake is the architect, who gets to the by-line before sending over a teasing cross... Fletcher slides in to apply the finishing touch! 1-0 to the hosts!
    • 4' Eagles looks to slip Fletcher in... but Thomas races back to snaffle out the danger.
    • 3' Eagles goes for a return from Elliot but it doesn't work out this time.
    • 3' Figeuroa sends a long ball into the Burnley box... Carlisle is there to head clear for Burnley.
    • 2' Wigan on the ball early on... Thomas out to Rodallega before it finds it back to the midfielder, who is upended by Bikey.
    • 1' Here we go! Underway in sunshine at Turf Moor!
    • - Wigan boss Roberto Martinez names an unchanged side with Chris Kirkland and Paul Scharner both passed fit.
    • - So, Chris Eagles is handed his first Premier League start of the season with David Nugent demoted to Burnley's bench.
    • - And today's referee is Lee Mason (England).
    • - Wigan: Kirkland, Melchiot, Boyce, Bramble, Figueroa, N'Zogbia, Thomas, Diame, Rodallega, Scharner, Scotland. Subs: Pollitt, Cho, Koumas, Gomez, Sinclair, Kapo, King
    • - Burnley: Jensen, Mears, Carlisle, Caldwell, Jordan, Eagles, Bikey, Alexander, Elliott, Anderson, Steven Fletcher. Subs: Penny, Duff, McDonald, Gudjonsson, Nugent, Thompson, Guerrero
    • - They remain without a win in a north-west derby match in 2009, failing to win in their last 10 north-west Premier League derby matches since a 1-0 win at Bolton Wanderers in December 2008.
    • - Wigan have lost their last three Premier League away matches, and have lost 10 of their 14 away matches in 2009, winning only twice - equal most away defeats in the division this year with Hull City.
    • - But Burnley are in great form at fortress Turf Moor - they've won all four Premier League home matches this season. They are the first promoted team in 27 years to win their first four top flight home matches since Watford in 1982-83. If they win today they will become only the fifth promoted team to win their opening five.
    • - Wigan have won four of their previous eight league visits to Turf Moor.
    • - Burnley are unbeaten in their last three league matches against Wigan without conceding a goal, since a 2-0 home defeat in the Championship in August 2003.
    • - The two sides have met 16 times in the league. Burnley have won two, Wigan Athletic seven and there have been seven draws.
    • - Wigan travel to Burnley where they will try to do what Manchester United and Everton have both failed to do this season - take points off Owen Coyle's side.

  • Summary

    • 80' OFF THE BAR FROM CARLISLE! It's a looping header from the Burnley defender that bounces onto the top of the Wigan bar!
    • 76' GOAL! BOYCE PUTS WIGAN 3-1 AHEAD! It's a simple tap in from the Latics defender after Scharner gets to a corner ahead of Carlisle to flick on at the near post!

Dingles your team looks tired, exhausted and lacking a­ bit of spirit today!! did the thrashing you got last­ week and the speed of the prem footy starting to catch­ up with the small squad you have, I did say you will­ not continue to get results in this league, shine­ wearing off now and performances slowing down i­ bet.
    Yes you started very well and surprised alot of­ teams but you cant continue at that pace it will catch­ you up! sorry sad little team on the way down as­ predicted, its a marathon not a sprint!
