Wigan banish ghosts to leave Bruce boiling

WHAT a difference a week makes.

Seven short days ago, Wigan’s players awoke with the image of White Hart Lane’s scoreboard burned indelibly on their brain, while Sunderland’s arose with the taste of champagne in their mouths after beating Arsenal.

Today, the roles have been reversed thanks to a fully deserved victory for Roberto Martinez’s players over their former manager, Steve Bruce, as Hugo Rodallega’s goal ensured some face was saved.
