Martinez laments 'non-existent' free kick

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez was left bemoaning the rough end of a refereeing decision after his side’s promising run of results was brought to a crashing halt by a 4-1 home defeat against Sunderland.

The Latics had come through a sequence of seven games including matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United with a creditable nine points and could have climbed out of the bottom three with victory at the DW Stadium last night.
