The referee's whistle eventually sounded after the added time came to an end, and with it came the celebrations.
The DW Stadium erupted.
A roar rolled through the stands as the Wigan players threw their arms into the air, some of them turning toward the supporters while others immediately looked for teammates to celebrate with.
"There we have it, it's full time here at the DW and another win for Wigan Athletic!" the lead commentator shouted over the noise.
"And what an incredible performance from the home side to take this game to the finish line!"
His co-commentator laughed.
"They've done it again. Chelsea came here wanting their revenge after the last meeting, and Wigan have beaten them again. You don't beat a team twice in a league season easily, especially not a side with the quality Chelsea have."
"And Wigan have done it convincingly."
The players began spreading across the pitch, applauding the supporters, and the fans responded immediately.
