Boyce Caldwell Lopez Figueroa
Watson
McCarthy Diame
Gomez Moses
Di Santo
Result: 1-1
Man of the Match: Victor Moses
I am disappointed to say I was wrong with my pre-match prediction of a 2-0 victory for Wigan. Although the home side started brightly, culminating in a successfully-converted Ben Watson penalty after a foul on Franco Di-Santo, an unusual error from goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi provided the Canaries with a route back into the contest. Norwich playmaker Wesley Hoolahan was able to capitalise on Al-Habsi’s rare mistake and from then onwards Wigan found it difficult to break down a resilient Norwich defence.
This was despite the best efforts of Man of the Match Victor Moses. Having picked him out as a player to watch from a Fantasy Premier League perspective Moses didn’t let me down, giving the Canaries right-back a torrid time throughout the afternoon. Had it not been for a goal-line clearance late on in the second-half, Moses’ points tally would have been boosted significantly with the points from a goal, and presumably 3 Bonus Points. How he failed to secure any Bonus Points in any case is something which leaves me slightly bewildered.
