Season review

Summary

Wigan Athletic had a tough season, spending much of it in the relegation zone and often in the bottom two. They had eight consecutive losses, between 10 September and 6 November, until earning a draw against fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers on 19 November. Wigan were rock-bottom from 15 October to 26 November, when winning against Sunderland. They started to improve afterwards, accumulating some points during the Christmas period, but returned to losing ways with four-straight losses, all in January. Once again, after the defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on 31 January, Wigan were bottom in the table. After winning against fellow strugglers Wanderers, Wigan remained bottom on goal difference.

In March, Wigan greatly improved, first losing against Swansea City but earning draws against Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion. But it was from late March onwards when Wigan completely transformed themselves. They earned wins against Liverpool and Stoke City before a controversial 2–1 defeat against Chelsea, where both of Chelsea's goals were from an offside position. Nevertheless, Wigan were in very strong form and made history after beating Manchester United for the first time. This was followed by their first-ever away win against Arsenal, a defeat to Fulham and their biggest win in the Premier League, a 4–0 demolition of Newcastle United (who were chasing UEFA Champions League football). On 7 May, in their penultimate game of the season, Wigan defeated Blackburn to retain their Premier League status and seal Blackburn's relegation. Their last game of the season was a 3–2 win against fellow relegated side Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wigan recorded seven wins in their last nine matches.
