Presumably you&#8217;ve heard the scoreline already, if only because you can read headlines. That thrashing, the second worst in Premier League history, which will serve to haunt Wigan from now until the end of time.

Poor Jurgen Sierens. The Roeselare keeper stopped a long-range shot from Anderlecht&#8217;s Moroccan midfielder Mbark Boussoufa, but then lost the ball. Sierens attempted to locate said spherical object with a 360 degree spin. Which was successful in that he found the ball, but unsuccessful in that he swept into his own net.

&#8211; David vs. Goliath.
&#8211; Highest-salaried team in MLS vs. lowest.
&#8211; Most-written-about team vs one of the least.
