A disappointing Chelsea held off a determined Wigan to grind out a win courtesy of Deco’s 25-yard free-kick.
The midfielder scored after just three minutes when he found the top corner after Lee Cattermole had handled.
But Wigan hit back and Blues keeper Petr Cech had to pull off smart saves to keep out shots from Wilson Palacios and Amr Zaki.
Chelsea struggled for form but held on for a win as Cech again rescued them by keeping out a late Olivier Kapo strike.
