Numbers game: Wigan Athletic (H)
Monday, October 28th 2019
We break down the statistics from City's 2-2 home draw with Wigan Athletic.
City continued their good run of results at home thanks to Pedro Pereira's late header.
It was the full-back's first goal for the club and an important one too as he steered the ball into the net from a Niclas Eliasson corner.
Cheyenne Dunkley had already pounced from two Wigan corners after Andreas Weimann's earlier opener.
