Manchester United battered Wigan Athletic 5-0 at the JJB Stadium on Saturday in a Premier League game that saw Wayne Rooney score his 100th goal with the Red Devils, and Michael Owen open his account for the defending champions. United, who were shockingly defeated 1-0 at newcomers Burnley in midweek, couldn't break the deadlock in the first half. However, the match turned into an eventful affair after the break. Rooney headed home six minutes from the hour mark to open the scoring and reach the 100-goal milestone. Dimitar Berbatov doubled United's lead only two minutes later, before Rooney added his second on 65 minutes with a deflected shot. United's summer arrival Owen notched his maiden competitive goal for Alex Ferguson's side in the 85th minute when his effort hit the post before settling into the net. Nani completed the rout with an injury time strike. United are now in third place with six points, while Arsenal are top on goal difference. The match's goals
