City close gap on United with narrow win at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City rode their luck to secure a narrow 1-0 win over relegation battlers Wigan to close the gap on league leaders Manchester United to 13 points, delaying the Red Devils inevitable reclaiming of the Premier League title.
In an FA Cup final dress rehearsal, the visitors had plenty of possession but a second half Carlos Tevez strike sealed all three points for the hosts, who travel to Tottenham on Sunday knowing that United can claim the top flight crown if they lose at White Hart Lane.
