Wigan got off to a terrific start, Antonio Valencia hitting a rasping drive from outside the box which arrowed in the top-right hand corner of Joe Hart’s net. But Steve Bruce’s charges let themselves down conceding a poor equaliser, Elano’s free-kick was poorly dealt with by Palacios at the near post allowing Vincent Kompany to steer the ball over the line. The Latics controversially hit back, Wilson Palacios impersonated a high jumper following a challenge from Garrido, ref Bennett pointed to the spot and Amr Zaki continued his superb record since arriving in England. The second half was a far duller spectacle, City failing to find an equaliser and ending in the second consecutive defeat for Mark Hughes’ men.

Henry then had an effort cleared off the line, before Espanyol were reduced to 10 men as Nene was dismissed for a second yellow. (First half highlights here.) After the break Barca continued to press, Messi flashed a shot wide and Henry’s acrobatic bicycle-kick was saved. The game was then halted for ten minutes after violence broke out in the stands as the home fans threw flares into the away supporters, before turning on their own stewards, breaking down a fence. When the game finally resumed Thierry Henry got reward for his hard work, netting the equaliser after a lucky break presented him with an open goal. The game ended is hugely controversial circumstances, Samuel Eto’o fell in the box after a clean, legal tackle, the ref pointed to the spot and Messi rolled home the winner with the final kick of the game.
