Thursday 18 April 2013 08:06, UK
A piece of individual magic from Carlos Tevez handed Manchester City a 1-0 win against Wigan in a dress rehearsal for next month's FA Cup final.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini blamed too many games for their lacklustre victory over relegation threatened Wigan at the Ethiad. He said: "It was hard work because we were so tired because we played two important games in five days and we played the last game three days ago. "It was a difficult game but we knew this before the game. Wigan play good football, they play really well." Meanwhile, Roberto Martinez admitted his side's defeat was 'hard to take' after Carlos Tevez's late winner. He said: "Obviously in this moment of the season the points are vitally important otherwise I would tell you it doesn't matter. "The way we performed was outstanding. I don't think for one second we deserved to draw the game, never mind lose it."
