A Great start of new Wigan manager, bring his team win over the host Aston Villa , 2-0 at Villa Park.
Villa boss Martin O’Neill handed debuts to new signings Fabian Delph and Habib Beye whilst the Latics also gave first starts to Jordi Gomez and Hendry Thomas as they searched for their first ever opening day win in the Premier League.

It was an entertaining first half in the Midlands with both sides playing attractive football and with chances aplenty.

Yet it was the visitors who started the game slightly the brighter and might have opening the scoring midway through the first half.

A good run by Charles N’Zogbia saw the winger hit a decent strike across goal that beat stopper Brad Friedel, but fortunately for the home side, hit the post and bounced away to safety.
