Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has a plenty of work to do at halftime as his side let in two goals in the last fifteen minutes to go into the break 2-0 down. American Clint Dempsey got both the goals to make it five for the season, the first a clinical header from Salcidos ball into the box and the second a thunderbolt on the half-volley after a cross from Chris Baird.
Dempsey Double Means Fulham Take 2-0 Halftime Lead Against Wigan Athletic
The match took a while to spring into life, with Wigan just about shading it early on, and an intriguing second half awaits. Wigan will surely want to come out all guns blazing as they attempt to avoid dropping into the relegation zone, while Mark Hughes side will look to protect a lead that could mean they finish the day in seventh place. Trouble for the away side is that goals have been hard to come by, with all eyes now focussing on Hugo Rodallega and Charles N´Zogbia as Wigan look for a way back in.
