Will Grigg hits double as Wigan cause FA Cup upset against 10-man West Ham
Posted on 27 January 2018.
A feeble West Ham performance saw David Moyes’s depleted side become Wigan Athletic’s latest Premier League victims, in a Cup tie overshadowed by the dismissal of Arthur Masuaku early in the second half for spitting.

But on the back of a crucial drop in form Wenger has actually started the last two games with a new plan, playing…

Willy Caballero is too much of a risk for Manchester City to play in Capital One Cup final while Nabil Bentaleb’s Tottenham season may now be all but over With all the focus on Manuel Pellegrini’s team selection, the post-match reaction to the heaviest defeat in Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi era largely overlooked the fact that some of the least impressive performances came from their senior players.
