Wigan 3-1 Chelsea
Chelsea look a little shell-shocked at this defeat but Wigan are worthy of the points and they were helped by the late injury to Cole. Take nothing away from their performance today though as they've ended Chelsea's perfect start emphatically.
90+5 Phil Dowd puts Chelsea out of their misery with the final whistle.
90+4 Cole is unable to come back into play and with all subs used, Chelsea are struggling with just 9 players. The home crowd are in full voice

Scharner taps in from a yard out after great work from Figueroa

77 Scharner puts too much emphasis on his throw-in as Scotland can't keep it in play

51 Red Card for Cech!
51 Penalty to Wigan!
50 Terry almost completes the turnaround after steering a pull-back from Carvalho on target but Kirkland turns wide for another corner
49 Chelsea are piling on the pressure now and have a corner
