‘Wigan will survive’

chances at Etihad Stadium. Wigan are three points from safety and also have an FA Cup final against City to look forward to.
“If we play like this we’ll get the points we deserve,” the Wigan manager told BBC Sport.

“It’s a performance to be proud of and when you play against a team like Manchester City you have to accept conceding a goal with a piece of magic.
“But from a football and tactical point of view, we were better in every department and deserved the points.”
The defeat at City was Wigan’s second loss in nine matches. Martinez feels his team, who have pulled away from relegation trouble in the closing stages of the last two seasons, are finding form at the right time.

The Spaniard added: “We’ve been in a very good run of form. (The performance at City) was no accident. We’ve been playing really well in the last few weeks and the FA Cup success has really helped us. We’ve got a very exciting period but the team is at a very good level.” — BBC Sport.
