Wigan manager Paul Cook said he had to ‘shut his eyes and pray’ as his League One side ended Manchester City’s hopes of winning the Quadruple by beating them 1-0 in the FA Cup fifth round.
Will Grigg netted the only goal with 11 minutes left as the Latics repeated their win over City in the 2013 final.
The Premier League leaders had Fabian Delph sent off just before half-time.
“It feels great. It is such a severe test. They are such a strong side. We rode our luck at times,” said Cook.

City were reduced to 10 men in added time at the end of the first half.
