Boss slams N`Zogbia dismissal
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez declared himself "extremely pleased" with the 2-2 draw against Arsenal but criticised Charles N'Zogbia for his red card.
Ben Watson's penalty had given the Latics a deserved lead, but Arsenal replied to go in ahead at the break through Andrei Arshavin's brilliant scissors-kick and Nicklas Bendtner's calm finish.
N'Zogbia then saw red for head-butting Jack Wilshere, only for the home side to level thanks to an own goal by Sebastian Squillaci.
Martinez said: "There's no excuses - that's unacceptable, it's a bad reaction. Charles started the game very well, he won a penalty, he gets kicked in every game and there's a lot of emotions but you cannot accept that sort of reaction.
"He let his team down - football is a team game and the reaction of the players got Charles out of jail in that respect. We'll deal with it internally but it's something I don't like. Sometimes in football you need to react in the right manner even if you are getting kicked all over the place.
"From the first minute Charles got a rough treatment and you want to protect the skilful players and that protection should come from other areas, not from himself."
