Martinez proud of players
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez was delighted with his side's display in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool at the DW Stadium.
The visitors faded badly having gone ahead in the seventh minute through Fernando Torres, his third goal in four days and first away from home since March 21.
Hugo Rodallega equalised in the 52nd minute and the Latics looked the better side in the second half, although Steven Gerrard had a shot crash back off the crossbar late on.
Martinez said: "The first 15 minutes we were not in the game at all and we got heavily punished as you would expect against world-class players. But after that I was extremely pleased with the way we controlled the game, imposed ourselves and created chances.
"You feel when you do that against Liverpool you expect to get the reward of three points. I am extremely proud of the players. It would have been very easy to feel sorry about themselves and allow Liverpool to win the game.
"They are really disappointed and frustrated in the dressing room and that fills me with pride and it shows you the characters we have at this club."
