Martinez relieved as Sammon off the hook for Stoke clash

WIGAN boss Roberto Martinez believes justice has been done after the Football Association rescinded the red card shown to Ireland’s Conor Sammon in Monday’s 5-0 defeat against Manchester United.

The Latics were trailing 1-0 at Old Trafford when, in the 39th minute, the striker caught Michael Carrick in the face with his left hand.

There did not appear to be any real intent and Sammon looked disappointed to be penalised, and that turned to shock when he was shown a straight red by referee Phil Dowd.
