Martinez hails hard-working Latics
Roberto Martinez claimed his Wigan players had been prepared to die for each other after watching them end their horrendous start to the Barclays Premier League season with a 1-0 win at Tottenham.
The Latics stunned Spurs at White Hart Lane with a win which came on the back of 4-0 and 6-0 defeats in their opening two games of the campaign.
They had also shipped nine goals in the corresponding fixture last season but their defence was simply unrecognisable from those debacles.
"The type of performance we had today was really of a group of players really committed," said manager Martinez after watching Hugo Rodallega net an 80th-minute winner.
"They were prepared to give their lives for each other."
He added: "We were missing that togetherness, that team spirit. But today, everyone will agree that we had that in abundance."
