Wigan youngster McCarthy: We are not safe yet

Wigan Athletic midfielder James McCarthy insists their stunning win over Arsenal still hasn't guaranteed them Premiership survival.

The victory moved Wigan up to 15th and seven points above the relegation zone but McCarthy, who is fast finding his feet after signing from Hamilton last summer, is taking nothing for granted ahead of Saturday's trip to relegation rivals West Ham.

He said: "It's a massive result considering we're fighting against relegation and now we've got another big game coming up this weekend against West Ham.

"Hopefully we can go down there and take all three points again. The gaffer's making sure everyone keeps their feet on the ground and he'll be having us work as hard as ever for the next game.

"This was a magnificent result but we've still got plenty of work still to do, and three huge games to go."
