Wigan pulled off one of the biggest shocks in recent FA Cup final history to record a surprise 1-0 win over favourites Manchester City.
Ben Watson’s late goal was enough to secure win for Roberto Martinez’s side, whose attention will immediately turn to trying to secure Premier League survival.
You can see extended highlights of the match in the video above.

Win or bust? In the Premier League, City have regressed in almost every area. They have less points, have scored fewer goals and conceded more. Pablo Zabaleta is perhaps the only player who has played better than last season.

Fearing he didn’t look daft enough wearing his mask, Fernando Torres (or Zorres as he’s been renamed by virtue of the mask) donned a pair of fake spectacles during this afternoon’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City.
The Spaniard was displeased at referee Chris Foy’s failure to award him a penalty in the closing stage of the match.
It’s just the sort of mildly amusing petulance that’s likely to get you into trouble with the FA.
