Wigan vs Manchester United Highlights : EPL Highlights

Michael Carrick struck an 87th-minute winner to sink Wigan 2-1 and move Manchester United to within a solitary point of regaining their Premier League title.

Carrick sealed another comeback win when he drove home John O’Shea’s pass from the edge of the box, leaving United just a point away from completing a hat-trick of Premier League triumphs.

Only once during Sir Alex Ferguson’s 10 previous successes have United done it in front of their home crowd. Now all they must do is avoid defeat against Arsenal to render a last-day trip to Hull, for the Red Devils at least, meaningless.

If Carrick was the match-winner, Carlos Tevez was again the hero, producing an impudent back-heel minutes after he was introduced as a substitute to peg the Latics back.

Steve Bruce’s men gave their all after taking a much deserved first-half lead through Hugo Rodallega. But the Wigan boss knows more than most, Manchester United are not beaten that easily.
