FA Cup hero Will Grigg hailed Wigan Athletic for making the impossible possible after his goal secured a stunning 1-0 upset win over Premier League leaders Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Grigg kept his cool after an error from Kyle Walker in the 79th minute to slot beyond Claudio Bravo and book a quarter-final place for Paul Cook’s League One side, ending Pep Guardiola’s quest for a historic quadruple in the process.<\/p>\n

Aymeric Laporte and Fernandinho wasted glorious chances for City in the first half, but their task was complicated by Fabian Delph being sent off for a rash lunge on Max Power.<\/p>\n

Wigan still had to withstand long spells of pressure after the break, doing so magnificently, before Grigg coolly dispatched his seventh goal in as many FA Cup matches this season.<\/p>\n

“It’s brilliant \u2013\u00a0obviously it was a nice easy game out there,” Grigg joked when he spoke to BBC Sport after the match.<\/p>\n

“It was an unbelievable performance by the lads. They’re probably the best team in Europe at the moment<\/p>\n

“I caught the offside trap and it was a nice little foot race with Kyle Walker, which was not really what I wanted.<\/p>\n

“I’m a goalscorer. I’ve said I’ll score at any level and luckily that one’s gone in.”<\/p>\n

Asked whether he had thought a victory that mimicked the scoreline of Wigan’s famous win over City in the 2013 FA Cup final was possible beforehand, Grigg replied: “To be honest, probably not. We worked really hard. The gaffer and the staff have put a great game plan together.<\/p>\n

“Even before the sending off we were playing really well. It comes at a good time but it’s one of those things.<\/p>\n

“Against a side like that \u2013 you can see in the second half that they’ve dominated possession.<\/p>\n

“They’ve got some unbelievable players, some of the best players in the world and we defended unbelievably well.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
