With a "beep" whistle, Wigan Athletics' home match against Chelsea in the 7th round of the Premier League, the final score was 1:4, without any surprises. According to international practice, the home team was in front and the away team was behind, and Chelsea showed a perfect feeling of taking three points from the DW Stadium in the score. In the eyes of some analysts, this was a powerful counterattack against Ferguson.

Compared with the beautiful score, the process of this game was not beautiful at all. At least the 45 minutes of the first half showed this situation. Both sides scored 2 red cards and 8 yellow cards in the game, and had a total of 23 fouls. Half of the fouls occurred in the first half, and the battle situation was quite tragic.[]

At the same time, Chelsea coach Di Matteo was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and received the first red card of the entire game at the last moment of the first half. He will also miss the team's next three games. The FA added a penalty for his behavior, that is, three games on October 4, 17, and 25 were absent.

Although he received his first red card as a coach, from Dimateo's unspoken smile at the post-match press conference, it can still be seen that our head coach is in a very good mood because the damn Ferguson's plot failed.

Chelsea and Wigan Athletic have only met 13 times in history. Wigan Athletic has been at an absolute disadvantage with 2 wins, draws and 9 losses. Among the last 9 matches between the two teams, Wigan Athletic has tied the Blues 1:1 away in the 2007 and 2008 league seasons, which is the only time that they have not lost.

The two teams met for the first time in the FA Cup in 1979-1980. Wigan Athletic won 0:1 away. Two seasons later, the two sides met again in the League Cup. Wigan Athletic defeated the Blues 4:2, which was the only two victories that Wigan Athletic had when they played against the Blues.

Wigan Athletics has not won a single game in the last 34 times. It lost to Manchester United 0:5 and Arsenal 0:4 respectively. For Chelsea, if they win this game, they will break the 23 unbeaten record set in club history between January and May 2007.

In the second minute of the game, Essin took the lead in Chelsea's offensive mode. The long shot outside the penalty area hit the Wigan defender's leg and bounced out of the baseline. One minute later, Wigan Athletics returned with color. Rodalega shot from a long shot from Chelsea's penalty area at a small angle, and the ball was confiscated by Cech.

In the 5th minute, Drogba dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​Wigan Athletic to pass the ball. Ozil penetrated into the penalty area and shot low and missed. Ozil, who was sitting on the lawn, angrily told the referee that the opponent's defensive player pushed him behind the back. The referee ignored it and warned Ozil, who was sitting on the ground, to return to the game as soon as possible. This was the first time Dimatio expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty. In the subsequent slow-motion replay, it can be clearly seen that the opponent's defender Melchiot poked Ozil's ankle very concealedly with his toes.

In the 7th minute, the Wigan Athletics player once again blocked Chelsea's attack with a rough foul, and this time the one who was injured became Jerkov. The Russian received a wonderful pass from Lampard, and a beautiful bicycle step fully demonstrated the extraordinary essence of Ronaldo.

Just as Birkov was moving forward like a wind-chasing boy, Sharney flew on the side very fiercely. Although he touched the ball, Jirkov was tripped directly on the lawn, like ripe wheat being harvested. Lampard roared and rushed over, and with Sharney with his head like a bullfight, trash talked to each other. Although the referee quickly ran to the conflict and blocked between the two, Lampard's eyes still told the referee if he came later, God knew whether Lampard's fist would smash Schalney's head.

Although Schalne received a yellow card, it could not hide the fact that Chelsea players were quite dissatisfied with the opponent and the referee. Then Lampard did not ask Qin Tian to give this free kick, but instead came himself. With a clear change in mood, Lampard's ball hit the goalkeeper Corkland's face, and the latter fell to the sky, and the blood from his nose could be clearly seen.

The dw stadium was booed, some of the Wigan Athletics players rushed towards Lampard, while others went to see their goalkeeper, but the referee did not punish Lampard or say anything. After all, such a ball was more of an accident. Soon Corkland stopped the bleeding from the nose and re-entered the game. His tenacity also aroused real applause from the fans on the scene.

Maybe it was blood that stimulated the Wigan Athletics, maybe it was because of the verbal battle between Ferguson and Di Matteo before the game, or maybe it was because the referee's performance was not tough enough, in short, players on both sides got angry in the subsequent games, even the substitutes and head coaches on the sidelines were in agitation. Not to mention the Wigan Athletics fans sitting in the stands, with middle fingers, boos, insults, etc. filling the entire dw.

The commentator on the scene may be the only calm one, "Oh, if the referee no longer performs, it will undoubtedly be a foul battle, which is not the game we want to see. Mr. Ferguson won, and he successfully dragged both teams into hell, damn it."

In the 9th minute, Essin fouled in his backcourt. Wigan Athletics Enzobia's direct free kick from 28 meters away from the goal was confiscated by Cech. One minute later, Lampard took Qin Tian's back and volleyed, and the ball flew out against the post, missing a good opportunity. Lampard also kept cursing, as if he was quite dissatisfied with his shot.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Scottland received a straight pass from his teammate in the penalty area and shot at a small angle. Cech blocked the ball with his legs. The Czech performed very well and successfully resolved several threatening shots from Wigan. Despite this, Wigan Athletics still scored the first goal.

In the 16th minute of the game, Wigan scored a ball on Chelsea's right and the ball passed directly to the penalty area. Chelsea's defensive line had problems at this moment. Bramble headed the ball to the top without defense, and the ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal. Cech had made his own efforts, but it was still a pity.

1:0, Wigan Athletics led the lead, which made Wigan fans ecstatic. Seeing Dimateo rush out of the coach's seat and command loudly, countless debris flew towards Dimateo.

Next, Rivigan played more rough and aggressively. Essin once again fouled in the backcourt defense. This time the referee was not ruthless and directly gave him a yellow card warning, although it was clearly seen from the replay that Essin did not have obvious foul action.

The second free kick, Enzobia's direct shot, the ball was punched by Cech, and Terry quickly cleared the ball from the penalty area. Three minutes later, Qin Tian made a beautiful personal breakthrough and broke through three opponents' defensive players in a row from the center line. Finally, he was knocked down on the lawn by an opponent's wrestling action, with a yellow card. Dimateo on the side of the field jumped to the fourth referee a few steps and shouted loudly, "This action is just a yellow card? Oh my God, this is such a fucking genius penalty..."

The fourth referee frowned and kept persuading Dimatio to pay attention to his words and deeds, otherwise he would record it. "Remember it, I have to declare this kind of shit penalty." Dimatio stopped entangling with the other party and walked directly towards his team.

In the 33rd minute, the Wigan defender saw that he could not stop Drogba, and directly tackled the Ivorians from behind. The referee still only gave a yellow card warning. However, through the camera replay, the foul was actually quite bad. Under normal circumstances, the referee should have shown a red card. The referee's penalty in this game was too soft, and his behavior also encouraged the next series of fouls by Wigan Athletic in disguise.

Qin Tian shot a free kick, and goalkeeper Corkland magically hugged the ball tightly on the goal line. The world-class save not only doubled the confidence of Wigan goalkeeper, but also greatly increased the team's momentum. The game developed in a direction that was very unfavorable to Chelsea. What made them even worse was that in the 41st minute of the game, Dimateo was invited to the stands by the referee with a red card because of repeated objections to the referee's penalty.

It was at the 40th minute that Drogba knocked the ball back to Qin Tian in the penalty area. Qin Tian volleyed from the penalty area line. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced on the lawn. Corkland was stunned for a moment and quickly pulled the ball out of the goal. Chelsea players pointed to the direction of the goal and signaled to the referee that the ball had entered. The large screen on the scene also replayed that two-thirds of the ball was in the net, but the referee firmly believed that the goal was invalid.

This made Dimateo extremely angry. He was furious on the sidelines, scolded the referee, and stretched out his middle finger.

A red card!

Then, amid applause from Wigan fans, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

After the rematch, Chelsea made substitution adjustments under the arrangement of the assistant coach. Mikel replaced Essin and made personnel positions adjustments. Mikel was arranged behind Lampard as a separate midfielder, Qin Tian and Lampard one left and one right. It was this time the substitution and formation adjustment that the Chelsea counterattack horn sounded.

First, Drogba on the forward line received Ozil's cross-bow pass from the right, and a straight shot from about 9 meters away from the goal. The ball rolled into the goal between Corkland's legs, and the score equalized 1:1.

In the 51st minute, Wigan Athletic's defense line had another problem. Qin Tian's clever straight pass made Jirkov, who had cut in from the left, face goalkeeper Korkland alone. Korkland attacked and tackled Jirkov. The referee finally awarded Chelsea a penalty and sent off the goalkeeper Wigan's red card.

Subsequently, Drogba scored 1:2, and Warcraft scored twice while helping the team overtake the score.

In the 76th minute, Ashley Cole returned to the defense and fouled. Wigan got a free kick. Rodalega's free kick hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. Cech quickly took the ball. Qin Tian made a pick-up ferry in the midfield. Drogba understood the infiltration and shot with a kick, flew directly from the opponent's goalkeeper's head into the net. 1:3, Chelsea recovered.

After the two sides made some adjustments to substitutions, in the 91st minute, Chelsea expanded the score again. Qin Tian broke through in the middle and knocked back on Lampard. Lampard's powerful shot made Wigan's goal tremble. In the end, the game ended, Chelsea won the victory without the coach and won seven consecutive league wins.

"We played badly in the first half, but during the break, our captain reminded us that it is time for the team to face difficulties. All we have to do is unite and defeat those who underestimate us and hope we will collapse. I am very happy that we did it. We are an excellent team and we will continue to win," said Drogba, the best player of the game, in a media interview.
