Wigan boss Roberto Martinez heaps praise on his players following Saturday's 3-0 victory at Aston Villa.

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has praised his side's "first-class" performance following Saturday's 3-0 win at Aston Villa.

The Latics picked up their first Premier League victory in seven matches as Ivan Ramis, Emmerson Boyce and Arouna Kone were all on target at Villa Park.

"I felt from the first second the players were really focused," Martinez told BBC Sport. "It was very important for us to keep a clean sheet but what they did going forward was first class.

"The movement was very precise and the penetration was very good. I thought we could have got a few more goals if that final pass was cuter."

The win has lifted Wigan out of the relegation zone and up to 16th place in the table.
