Wigan Athletic Vs. Manchester United: Second Half Underway, More Chances for Both Sides

Hugo Rodallega has won a header against Nemanja Vidic, which is rather astonishing. The Colombian directed said header directly at Edwin van der Sar, which is not. As you might imagine, the second half is underway, and we've already seen some action. Javier Hernandez was caught in a challenge and went down injured for a few minutes, but is back up and playing, although he's running pretty gingerly. While he was out of the game, Wigan went very close to scoring thanks to a 35-yard drive off the right boot of Maynor Figueroa, which van der Sar did very well to punch clear - the ball was moving all over the place on that one.

At the other end of the pitch Nani has just tried a shot on goal from a silly angle when a cross would almost certainly had led to a goal, then in an attempt to atone for his mistake did cross from a similar position minutes later only to see both Hernandez and Wayne Rooney miss the ball. United are looking much better in this half than they were in the first period, controlling the ball in the midfield far more effectively now.
