Kone stars as Wigan stun City to lift Cup

PARIS, France: Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone was among the stars as Wigan stunned Manchester City 1-0 at the weekend to lift the FA Cup for the first time.

Kone played an important part as Wigan pulled off the biggest FA Cup final upset since Wimbledon beat Liverpool in the 1988 final.

The Ivorian created a fine early chance for Callum McManaman and tormented the City defence throughout with his purposeful running, setting the scene for Ben Watson's stoppage-time winner.

The African star with the blond dyed hair troubled City throughout with his running and now turns his attention to keeping the cup winners in the Premier League.

Unfashionable Wigan visit Arsenal on Tuesday and host Aston Villa on
Sunday, needing to win both games to be sure of avoiding relegation.
