Wigan 0 Chelsea 1

Chelsea maintained their 100 percent start to the season when a stunning free-kick from new signing Deco was enough to give them a 1-0 Premier League win at Wigan Athletic on Sunday.
Deco, who also scored on his league debut in last week's 4-0 win over Portsmouth, struck with a beautifully executed free-kick in the fourth minute after Wigan's Lee Cattermole handled the ball just outside the penalty area.

The win took Chelsea, who were far from their best, to the top of the table with six points, the same as Liverpool who have also won their opening two games although Chelsea have a better goal difference.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari told Setanta Sports: “The result was far more important than the performance today. Wigan have a very good squad, good organization and are very athletic but my players fought hard and you must come to places like Wigan and win if you want to be involved in the title race.”
