"And that is full time here at the DW Stadium," the commentator said came in at the right register as the away fans made their joy clear with their celebrations.
"Manchester City win it three goals to Wigan's two. Wigan Athletic suffer their first defeat of the Premier League season after sixteen matchdays, and it took Erling Haaland coming off the bench with a few minutes remaining to produce it."
On the pitch, the tension that had followed them through the final stages of the match was finally gone, replaced by the relief of a team that had been pushed much harder than expected and had still found a way to win.
Haaland stood near the centre of the group, surrounded by teammates as the City supporters behind the goal celebrated with them.
The home side, on the other hand, stood loosely, with most of the players bent over or kneeling while they watched the away side celebrate the victory.
