Martinez hails `mature' Wigan
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez praised the way his players coped with the pressure of the relegation battle with Wolves as they came away from Molineux with a precious 2-1 victory.
The Latics moved out of the Barclays Premier League drop zone and up to 16th thanks to first-half strikes from Hugo Rodallega and Tom Cleverley, substitute Steven Fletcher prodding in a late reply for Wanderers that proved nothing more than a consolation.
Both sides went into the game knowing defeat would have seen them occupying last place following West Ham's 3-1 triumph at Fulham earlier in the day, and Martinez was delighted with the manner in which his team handled the situation.
"It was a very difficult game in terms of coming to Molineux with a lot to lose," Martinez said.
"We could have finished bottom of the league and that could have been on the players' minds and affected their performance - we are very young.
"But I felt that the maturity in the performance was fantastic and it showed how far we have come in the first half of the season."
