The Latics pulled off a shock 2-1 win on Monday after early goals from Franco Di Santo and Jordi Gomez to move five points clear of the drop zone.

The win comes just days after Wigan defeated Manchester United, and a little over a week after they lost narrowly to Chelsea in controversial circumstances at Stamford Bridge, and Martinez was full of praise for his players at full-time.

"I'm so so satisfied because that wasn't an accident," Martinez told Sky Sports 1.

"In eight days, to have to play Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal is such a big task, but today the manner that we coped physically and tactically everyone at Wigan Athletic should be very proud.

"The manner that we played and obviously we were a little bit disappointed at half-time because we couldn't keep the ball well enough.

"I thought we had to defend well on the counter-attack we were a real threat but we can play a lot better than that.

"But in the second half, to have that mentality of know-how in such a young group, to understand what's needed in different phases.

"We got one-on-ones with the keeper, we had another chance and we coped with an outstanding footballing side and that is the truth.

"A well-deserved three points, and to say that speaks volumes of the performance of the players."
