Wigan win excites Martinez

Roberto Martinez claimed this was the
start of Wigan's season after seeing his
side beat West Ham 2-1 at the DW
Stadium.
Goals from Ivan Ramis and James
McArthur gave Wigan a deserved two-
goal lead before James Tomkins pulled
one back late on.
Asked if it was a relief to get a first
home win of the season, Martinez said:
"More than a relief I thought it was an
excitement.
"That was just a period of getting us as
strong as we can and adapting to new
things that we've been doing this
season.
"Today I was pleased we were able to
have time to prepare the team and not
an international break. I know they
distract everyone but for us they are a
disaster.
"Today's performance is a
combination of all the good things and
we got a complete performance.
"The most pleasing aspect was the
manner we dealt with the attacking
threat of West Ham.
"You always know they are going to
cause problems and I was really
pleased with the composure we
showed in the last minute to close it
out.
"I'm extremely pleased with a well-
deserved three points and now is
probably the start of our season."
