Many people thought that Roberto Martinez was mad last summer when he reportedly passed up the opportunity to manage Liverpool or Aston Villa, but decided to stay with Wigan Athletic instead. But the sacrifice by him certainly paid off today.

Here’s the last video of the day from Wigan Athletic’s triumphant FA Cup Final victory against Manchester City. The videos below feature the post-match celebrations by Wigan players on the pitch.

Plus there’s behind-the-scenes footage from the player tunnel showing both Wigan and Manchester City footballers and staff before the match kicked off, at half-time, after Zabaleta got red-carded and after the final whistle.
