The match marked David Silva's return from a recent injury and a lot of reliance on his play was needed as Toure and four other senior players were missing from the team. Nasri was also struggling to be on top form. Ref Martin Atkinson gave Wigan's Figueroa a yellow card after he handed the ball and denied Aguero a clear goal two minutes before the match was due to end. Mancini could be seen talking animatedly with several officials after the decision. Dzeko commented "One or two goals more could have been scored, but ultimately, the game was tough and the opposition played well."
