Chelsea secured all three points against Wigan Athletic thanks to yet another fantastic strike from Deco. Deco continued his fine start to life in the Barclays Premier League, scoring his second goal in as many matches to see Chelsea win at the JJB Stadium. The Portugal midfielder lashed home a free-kick in the fourth minute to hand the Blues three points against a resilient Latics side.Luiz Felipe Scolari's side could not repeat the display that saw them comprehensively beat Portsmouth 4-0 last week, but with two wins from two the Brazilian coach has already stolen a march on title rivals Arsenal and Manchester United. In that opening fixture, the Blues produced the dazzling football that has long been expected of them by owner Roman Abramovich but their 1-0 defeat of Wigan at the JJB Stadium was sorely lacking inspiration.
Luiz Felipe Scolari conceded his Chelsea side had failed to hit the heights of last week's 4-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, but insisted confidence was high after a second consecutive win.
Scolari, though, remained unconcerned.
'I understand that we didn't play like last week but I also understand the reasons why,' he said. Wigan played better than Portsmouth, they pressured us and they were playing at home - the people can help more than they can when we are at Stamford Bridge.'
'Also, I have had many problems this week. Michael Ballack played with a little injury, Michael Essien has not been training for 10 days, then trains for two and I needed him to play 90 minutes and John Mikel Obi is out. But they fought and it was possible to win the game. It is fantastic for Chelsea and fantastic for our group because we have confidence and we have six points.'
Robinho On The Move
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have revealed they are prepared to allow Robinho to move on after the Brazilian asked to leave. Real have responded to Robinho's comments and admit they do not want to keep an unhappy player in Bernd Schuster's squad.
"Real Madrid have become aware of the declarations by the player and deeply regret their content," read a statement on the club's official website. "Real Madrid would never want to retain a player against his wishes and as a result they have no alternative, but to accept his unilateral decision to rescind his contract if that is what the player wants."
It is unclear whether Real are now prepared to enter into negotiations with Chelsea to reach agreement on a fee for Robinho.

fuh! lega hamba bila ref tiup wisel penamat. bahaya betul! huhu.. memang diakui permainan chelsea tidak sehebat & menarik tertarik spt ketika membelasah portsmouth minggu lalu. tapi aku tetap confident beb..
sebenarnya kalo tengok betul2 game ni & statistik nya, kita akan perasan yg chelsea lebih banyak pegang posession walaupun bole kata takde dangerous attemp langsung yg benar2 menguji tahap kehandalan goalkeeper wigan. yang ada tu la free kick deco tapi itu la yang gol tu. hehe.. jadi apa yg aku nak sampaikan kat sini ialah chelsea masih dalam proses untuk menghasilkan permainan hebat, menarik & menang yang diidamkan oleh mr. roman & sedang cuba diusahakan oleh big phil & sedang cuba dipraktikkan oleh player2 chelsea. bukan senang woh..ingat senang ke?
kalo tengok betul2 pun chelsea cuba utk bermain dengan cantik. & hasilnya banyak gak gerakan2 cantik yang dihasilkan cuma masih banyak jugak yg tak berapa menjadi. tapi corak permainan man to man pass (skill pass, through ball pass, etc.) yg cuba ditunjukkan oleh chelsea memang baik skali. cuma tu la spt kata scolari, he needs time. so let give him the times he wanted. GO CHELSEA..!!
