Smash and grab caps Martinez’s magical day

Manchester City 0 Wigan 1

Let us start with Wigan, for it was deservedly their day: no parking of buses was required to get the better of the most expensively-assembled squad in English football history.

Let’s hear it for Latics chairman and owner Dave Whelan, the man whose leg was broken playing for Blackburn in the 1960 final. And Ben Watson who suffered an identical setback earlier this season but regained fitness just in time to come off the bench and head a last-minute winning goal.
