WIGAN, England - Edin Dzeko ended Manchester City's two-month road winless streak in the Premier League, scoring on a header off David Silva's free kick in the 22nd minute for a 1-0 victory over Wigan on Monday night.

Dzeko had been scoreless in 11 games overall since the victory at QPR.
Wigan (3-12-6) is 20th and last.
