Manchester City 0-1 Wigan - FA Cup Final match report
Substitute Ben Watson's 90th minute goal helped Wigan spring a huge FA Cup final upset against last season's Premier League champions Manchester City.
Watson, who had replaced Jordi Gomez with 10 minutes to go, powered home Shaun Maloney's corner for the only goal of the game.
The former West Bromwich Albion loanee's strike capped a dramatic finish to the game, which had seen City defender Pablo Zabaleta sent off just six minutes earlier for a second bookable offence.
City, who had former Shrewsbury Town star Joe Hart in goal, were big favourites to capture the cup.
But Wigan started well and Callum McManaman went very close to a ninth minute opener when he curled only just wide from deep inside the box.
The Latics continued to enjoy several promising spells but the favourites almost took the lead through Carlos Tevez with 29 minutes gone.
The Argentinean looked odds on to score from Sergio Aguero's cut-back only to be denied by the foot of Wigan's on-loan keeper Joel Robles.
Wigan fans felt their side should have had a penalty soon afterwards when Roger Espinoza went down under Zabaleta's challenge.
But the appeal was waived away and the City defender then did well to block McManaman's goalbound effort in a separate attack.
At the other end Samir Nasri tested Robles' reflexes just before the interval but his curling effort was well-punched away.
Teves created a great chance for Aquero five minutes after the interval but his countryman was denied by Emmerson Boyce's last-ditch tackle, which deflected the shot wide.
Zabaleta then flashed an inviting ball across the face of goal just before the hour mark, but no one was able to reach it and the chance went begging.
But Wigan remained very much in the game and only Vincent Kompany's well-timed block prevented McManaman from opening the scoring after 66 minutes.
Shaun Maloney then struck the top of the crossbar for Wigan from a free-kick 15 minutes from time.
City were shading the second half but the balance of power shifted sizably when Zabaleta was shown a second yellow card for a foul on McManaman.
Maloney curled just wide from the free-kick but Watson headed home in the 90th minute from Maloney's corner-kick to spark jubilant celebrations in the Wigan half of the stadium.
The Latics saw out four minutes of stoppage time to earn the first trophy in their 81-year history.
