Wigan Athletic vs Liverpool Highlights: EPL Highlights
Liverpool’s four-match winning run was halted by a lively Wigan at the DW Stadium as Roy Hodgson’s side failed to secure all three points despite taking an early lead through Fernando Torres’ third goal in four days, the visitors lost their grip on the game midway through the first half and never regained it.
Wigan equalised through Hugo Rodallega in the 52nd minute and finished the better side as the Merseysiders appeared to feel the exertions of beating Premier League leaders Chelsea on Sunday. That will be a concern to manager Hodgson, who has voiced his concerns about the depth of quality in his squad, with a trip to Stoke next up on Saturday.
The draw meant Liverpool missed the chance to move into the top five a scenario which seemed a distant prospect just a few weeks ago with the Reds buried in the relegation zone until they put together three league wins.
Highlights:
Wigan Athletic 0 – 1 Liverpool
Wigan Athletic 1 – 1 Liverpool
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal Highlights: EPL Highlights
Two-goal Marouane Chamakh got Arsenal back to their winning ways with a 2-0 success against gallant Wolves at Molineux. Chamakh struck after only 39 seconds when he headed in a cross from Alex Song and wrapped up victory in injury-time.
It was the perfect result after their shock home reversal against Newcastle and kept Mick McCarthy’s side in the bottom three. The Gunners threatened to run away with the game in the early stages with their one touch football. But Wolves Keeper Marcus Hahnemann’s heroics kept them in the hunt during that period. But they hauled themselves back into contention via the creativity of Nenad Milijas and the endeavour of Stephen Hunt, only to be left dejected after Arsenal snatched the victory with goals in the first minute and last minute of the game.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Inter Milan Highlights
Tottenham announced themselves as a European force to reckon with by producing a stunning display of attacking football to beat Champions League holders Inter Milan. On a glory, glory night, not witnessed at White Hart Lane since Spurs last rubbed shoulders with the game’s elite almost half a century earlier, Harry Redknapp’s side were simply irresistible.
Their win was enough to take them above Inter on goal difference at the top of Group A and almost ensured a place in the knockout phase. In what was a typically-breathless game, Tottenham magnificently matched Inter , but Gareth Bale once again stole the show with another jaw-dropping performance less than a fortnight on from his stunning San Siro hat-trick, but this time he finished on the winning side.
There were also some world-class displays from the likes of Luka Modric, and Rafael van der Vaart, who combined to open the scoring in the 18th minute.
Bale brilliantly set up the second one for Peter Crouch to end his recent goal drought, Samuel Eto’o set up a nervy finish, but Bale was on fire and another cross saw substitute Roman Pavlyuchenko seal a historic win.
