Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez was delighted with their 2-0 win over Stoke City.

Antolin Alcaraz and Victor Moses struck the goals in the Latics crucial win.

Martinez said: "We've had seven draws at home when I felt we were as dominant as today. It's a real sign of maturity within the squad, a sign that we're learning with every game.

"That's very important, it's going to help our confidence. But I do feel this is the best season of the three that I've had with Wigan. We've started to get the results now and this group of players deserve that.

"We kept Stoke really quiet. It was probably the easiest game Ali Al Habsi has had all season and that's credit to the players.

"Going forward we created chances, we looked lively, we missed some really good opportunities but that didn't affect us to keep going forward, and then the first goal is an outstanding bit of football.

"It was a very complete performance and magnifies how important the win at Anfield was. It was a historic day at Liverpool but if you don't win at home after that the points mean nothing."
