Martinez joyous after Wigan FA Cup victory


Roberto Martinez celebrated the glory of his FA Cup final success over Manchester City yesterday, then admitted that the late goal was truly an incredible moment. Ben Watson scored the winning goal at Wembley in the 90th minute.

"It's an incredible moment. At half-time, we were all really down as we thought we had played really well in the first half," he told ITV. "There was a real feeling of maybe we had wasted our opportunity, but this group of players keep on fighting.


"It was incredible seeing the goal going in. When you are a football club, you dream of playing at Wembley, and today we saw the underdogs play with incredible bravery, incredible belief and they defied the odds again. That's the FA Cup."
