These late season heroics for the Latics of Wigan are nothing new and solidify why manager Roberto Martinez deserves a fate better than going prematurely gray every year befoer surviving at the end...
This week, in another must-win situation on the road at West Brom, Callum McManaman (who has been known more for his tackling than his goal striking this season), puts it in the back of the net in the 80th minute for another late game win and another vitally vital three points.
Evidence below...
Wigan are now only two points from escaping relegation (again) at 35 points. Sunderland is next up at 37. Newcastle and Norwich (who lost at home to Aston Villa) are at 38. Southhampton are at 39. Everyone else is at the 40 point plateau- the number long thought of as being safety in Premier League competition.
