Roberto Martinez hails "incredible" survival

Roberto Martinez admits that Wigan Athletic's Premier League survival "doesn't seem real yet".

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has described his side's Premier League survival as "an incredible achievement".

The Latics' 1-0 win at Blackburn Rovers moved them five points clear of the relegation zone with one game remaining.

"It doesn't seem real yet. It is a great feeling," the Spaniard told BBC Sport.

"It was a difficult game, you could feel the tension and it was a cagey affair. But staying up is an incredible achievement."

Wigan have won six of their last eight matches.
