COLOMBIAN Hugo Rodallega dominates as Wigan beats Burnley 3-1

Hugo Rodallega, the only Colombian in the English Premier League (EPL), scored in the 11th and 52nd minutes to lead Wigan over Burnley. Emerson Boyce scored in the 76th minute to complete the visitors' rout of Burnley. Burnley had been previously unbeaten at their home field of Turf Moor including a win over Manchester United. Rodallega's 4th and 5th goals of the season puts him in 9th position in the EPL scoring table. On the first goal, Rodallega had a bit of luck as the keeper fell down leaving Rodallega with an open net. The second was all class as he blasted a ball from just inside the box off the post into the goal.
