Chelsea lost the first match in the season

The London Chelsea with a score of 1: 3 lost to Wigan, who is in the championship of England in the middle of the standings. Under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, who four months ago replaced the Dutchman Hus Hiddinka, the Londoners had won all nine matches of the season before: a fight for the England Super Cup, in the game in the League Cup and six meetings in the Premier League.

Chelsea clearly failed to start the game against Wigan. In the 16th minute, the canopy from the flank found the addressee in the form of Bramble's Titus, which was forgotten in the penalty area, and the Wigan defender sent the ball to the gate net - 1: 0.

At the beginning of the second half, Dodier Drogb, with the transfer of Floran, Maluda, equalized the score, but then the key episode of the game occurred: the Columbian forward of Wigan, Hugo Rodaliega threw the ball past the Czech and, barely entering the goalkeeper, readily collapsed onto the lawn. The referee was ruthless: the red card to the Czech and the penalty, which the victim himself was implemented, outwitting the reserve goalkeeper Enrique Ilariu - 2: 1.

The guests failed to recoup. Moreover, already in the added time, the Austrian defender Paul Sharner scored the third ball into the goal of Chelsea - 3: 1.

Yuri Zhirkov held the whole meeting in reserve, his debut in the English Premier League is deposited at least until October 4, when Chelsea will accept Liverpool.

We add that the defeat of Chelsea used Manchester United, who at a party beat 2: 0 "Stoke City" and equalized with "aristocrats" on points (18).
