Carrick scores the winner but it's Tevez who deserves all the credit

An inspired Carlos Tevez performance has this evening put Manchester United within touching distance of re-claiming their Premier League title. Sir Alex Ferguson's men came from behind to claim a 2-1 win over Steve Bruce's Wigan at the JJB Stadium to leave United needing just a single point out of their final two games to ensure the title stays at Old Trafford for another season.

Tevez, who is unlikely to be a Manchester United player next season, came off the bench to cancel out Hugo Rodallega's first-half strike with just under half-an-hour remaining. After Tevez' goal, United were a totally different side and Michael Carrick grabbed the winner with just minutes remaining, a devastating left footed strike from the edge of the Wigan box.

There is no doubt United showed what Champions are all about tonight. Even when they're not really playing at their very best they always manage to grind out a result and that was certainly the case tonight. The performance of Tevez tonight was exceptional. With all the talk that has gone on over the past few days regarding his future, to still come out and play like he did was outstanding.
