Arsenal win the reward we needed - Wigan's Martinez

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez believes Sunday's 3-2 win over Arsenal was the victory his side deserved.

The Latics came back from two goals down to edge past the Gunners at DW Stadium and the Spanish tactician was delighted for his players after the triumph.

"We finally got the rewards our performance deserved," said Martinez.

"We started the game well, played face-to-face with Arsenal, but then we began to lose the ball cheaply and the game was going away from us.

"Not many teams come back from 2-0 down against Arsenal, and the reason is the effort and belief the players showed today.

"Moments like this are vital for our club, are the reason why we are involved in football and what our fans deserved.

"To beat Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in one season is something that doesn't come by accident, and I'm extremely proud of the players."
