Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez was full of praise for his side's discipline after a 1-0 home win over West Brom lifted the out of the relegation places.
A Victor Moses strike proved decisive at the DW Stadium, as Wigan won only their third league game of the campaign, with the victory enough to lift them above Birmingham City.
Martinez told the club's official website:"It was a very difficult game and it might not have been pretty, but it was three valuable points.
"I am so proud that the players were able to find the answers, because we didn't have the control or the dominance we have had in recent weeks.
"But we got the three points we feel we deserved and that is a massive step forward for us.
"I just felt that it was a performance where everyone had to be at 100 per cent and had to stay concentrated for the whole 90 minutes. In that respect, we were perfect.
"You have to find a way of creating chances without leaving yourself too exposed at the back.
"We managed to create three good chances, we took one of them and three very deserved points."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
