Wigan waltz into last eight

Winger Callum McManaman and midfielder James McArthur were two players Martinez recalled and they rewarded the Spaniard with displays full of Premier League class.

McManaman struck a fine opening goal in the 31st minute and Arouna Kone tapped home a second shortly before the break.

McArthur struck a brilliant third goal from the edge of the penalty area early in the second half and although Huddersfield substitute Lee Novak headed home just after the hour, it was not enough to trouble the Premier League side.

HUDDERSFIELD: Smithies, Hunt, Gerrard, Peter Clarke, Woods, Danns, Atkinson (Novak 46), Clayton, Scannell (Norwood 65), Lee (Vaughan 46), Arfield.

WIGAN: Robles, Golobart, Scharner, Figueroa, Stam, Gomez (Beausejour 74), McArthur (McCarthy 90), Espinoza (Maloney 57), Fyvie, Kone, McManaman.

Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland).
