Title hopes are kept by man City alive - FOXSports.com

UpdatedAApr 17, 2013 6:11 PM ET Revive the best action photographs from the Barclays Premier League. A piece of specific miracle from Carlos Tevez handed Manchester City a win against Wigan in a rehearsal for next month's FA Cup final. The Argentine bagged the winner after turning previous two players on the edge of the package before crashing his shot into the top of the net with eight minutes remaining. Franco Di Santo and Arouna Kone missed good possibilities for the Latics who stay static in the relegation zone and three things from safety. The very first half was relatively low key as both sides returned to group activity after their emotionally and physically-draining semifinal victories last weekend. Wigan started confidently, patting the ball around efficiently but without good penetration. They won two corners within the first four minutes, but failed to capitalise. Aleksandar Kolarov flashed his free kick wide before Sergio Aguero shot across goal and did not win a free-kick outside the region, but apart from that there was little action of note in the opening 30 minutes. There then followed a of activity as Wigan produced a shining move with Kone flooding forward and Shaun Maloney backheeling into the way of Di Santo.

City ran upfield in result but Aguero failed to obtain a touch on Tevez's dangerous low mix. Area lasted a few scares immediately after the system as first Maloney wrongfooted Micah Richards and beat Hart with a go from a limited angle only for Joleon Lescott to clear off the point. Wigan appeared to get close again when Paul Scharner headed contrary to the bar from a free-kick however the hole was raised for offside. After as a typically sublime winner was struck by Tevez that near miss, heartbreak followed for Wigan. The Argentinian turned away from two defenders on the edge of the area and jinked past a third before straightening a shot in to the top corner. It was his eighth goal in nine games and left Wigan in the underside three together of these important games at your fingertips had slipped away. Town, meanwhile, reduce Manchester United's lead at the top to 13 items, and now the side's should do all of it again at Wembley the following month.
