Hull Vs Wigan Match Report
Hulls fate was sealed by an injury time goal from Steve Gohouri as he equalized late to take 2 points away from the tigers. The fantastic finish from Gohouri meant that the 2 year run in the top flight was over for Hull city, and their fans who were on the brink of Celebrating an away win after almost 15 wins were instead witness to the final nail in the coffin of Hull.
Their loss is West Ham’s gain, as tigers cannot match Hammers points tally, and considering their inferior goal difference Hull City were going down none the less. believe it or not things can get a lot worse very quickly for them as they are believed to be under a debt of around 35 million pounds before their return to the coca cola championship, the 2nd tier football league in English Football.
Wigan who only made sure of their survival a week ago, were by far the superior side on the day, and had they taken most of their chances they would have been the winners by some good margin. Hull city manager Ian Dowie’s future is also under a dark cloud now, as he has only managed to register a single win since taking charge.
Looking at the match itself Latics had the better of the chances in early exchanges, but lack of quality at the front was their undoing, but Moses finally ended home side’s frustration in spectacular fashion, by scoring his first goal for Wigan since joining them in January.
It could have been 2 soon after for Moses and Wigan, but he mis-kicked after Figueroa had deflected a cross into his path, and it was the away side who were level soon after, as Wigan Defense waited for Referee to acknowledge Linesman’s flag and Stojkovic was unable to clear Kilnbne’s cross, Atkinson made full use of the confusion and put the away side level using his head.
Home side were understandably frustrated but converted that anger into on field aggression, attacking Hull’s goal with number of attacks at the start of the second half, but it was the home side who took the lead infront of their cheering fans as , Gohouri somehow allowed George Baten’s cross to go over and head towards the youngman Cullen who made no mistake and put the ball in the back of the net at the back post, Hull fans at that time had forgtotten about relegation and other problems facing the club and celebrated what seemed to be a potential winner for the tigers, but little did they know what more was in store in the match, as the latics continued to throw everything Hull’s goal and deep into injury time Sharner put in a cross where Ghouri was ready to head it home to seal snatch a late equalizer and send Hull city back to the championship after 2 seasons in the Premier League.
After sending Tigers down Wigan may still have a say in the title race, as they face Chelsea on last day of the season, if Latics somehow are able to take anything away from the mighty blues and Manchester United win their game against Sotke Ctiy, United will win the League.
