Premier League: Wigan seal vital home victory against Newcastle
Monday 18 March 2013 00:04, UK
Arouna Kone scored in stoppage time to earn Wigan a 2-1 win over Newcastle at the DW Stadium that boosts their Premier League survival hopes.
Roberto Martinez insisted Callum McManaman was not a malicious player after his horror tackle on Haidara. He told Sky Sports: "Remember it's Callum's full debut in the Premier League. I haven't seen the replay, I believe that he touches the ball and then it's a bad challenge, but it's nothing malicious, he's not that sort of boy." "I think he wants to contact the player. I don't know if he's done it already but he will do that because when you get an injury in that manner you obviously don't want to leave any bad feelings." Meanwhile, his opposite number Alan Pardew was left aggrieved by two key incidents which saw Newcastle suffer a controversial defeat at the DW Stadium. He told Sky Sports: "I'm disappointed for our team and for Wigan in a way, disappointing how it was conducted. The tackle was awful, and we've lost the game in the last minute to what I think is a handball, and also got a boy going to hospital. "In all honesty it's difficult to take and difficult to talk about at this stage."
