Will Grigg, Wigan end Man City's quadruple hopes with shock cup win

Three thoughts from Wigan's stunning 1-0 win over Premier League leaders Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round.
1. City's run ended by Wigan
Manchester City's hopes of winning the quadruple have incredibly been ended by League One side Wigan Athletic, as Will Grigg stunned the visitors with a brilliant 79th-minute low drive that beat the outstretched hand of Claudio Bravo. City had lost just once against English opposition all season: the 4-3 defeat at title rivals Liverpool. But no-one gave Wigan, second in League One and more focused on securing promotion back to the Championship, much of a chance. However, they had a real opportunity for a shock when City were reduced to 10 men as Fabian Delph was controversially sent off for a high challenge on Max Power.

The 79th-minute goal stunned City, who were unable to create a killer chance to rescue their hopes of winning every competition this season. Guardiola even threw on Kevin De Bruyne for the closing stages but brilliant Wigan held firm to cause one of the greatest FA Cup upsets of recent years. Wigan's FA Cup final triumph over City five years ago will still be the greatest day in the club's history but the win over Pep Guardiola's side may be the greatest result in the club's history and their fans were quick to flood the pitch at full-time to celebrate.

2. Man City see red, loose their cool
Guardiola has been calling for referees to clamp down on bad tackling in recent months and the irony won't be lost on many that it was one of his players who'd see a straight red card for a bad challenge. Delph was sent off for what appeared to be a studs-up challenge on Power just on the cusp of half-time and it led to an angry exchange between the City coach and Wigan boss Paul Cook.
Delph felt hard-done by the decision and his punishment will feel even more severe when he's forced to sit out the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal this Sunday.

3. Lower league causes City problems again
It's curious that in such an incredible season so far, City have so often struggled against teams from the lower divisions in domestic cup competitions. While Chelsea and Manchester United have been comprehensively beaten away and Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur thrashed at home, the league leaders have struggled to put away "smaller teams." Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers took them to penalties while Bristol City scored three times over two legs and now League One Wigan has completed a famous win.
The build-up to Monday's match was dominated by talk of Wigan's famous cup final victory over their illustrious neighbours five years ago, and that it would be an upset of even greater proportions if they were to be the side to stop City's quadruple hopes.
