Martinez praises Latics progress
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez hailed his side's recent improvement as they moved out of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over Blackpool.
The Latics went ahead after three minutes at Bloomfield Road when Hugo Rodallega slotted through Matt Gilks' legs, and Charles N'Zogbia made it 2-0 in first-half stoppage time.
Mohamed Diame sent in a third for the visitors via a deflection off Neal Eardley midway through the second period, rendering DJ Campbell's late reply a mere consolation.
The result means the Latics leapfrogged their opponents into 17th and Martinez was pleased to see his side go from strength to strength following their efforts in last week's 1-0 defeat at Chelsea and the 0-0 draw with Tottenham before that.
"I said it before that I felt we played really against Chelsea and Spurs and it was disappointing not to get a win out of that," Martinez said.
"But I felt that with the way Blackpool played, we had to be even better tactically than against the last two teams and I was extremely proud of the tactical awareness of the players."
