Emile Heskey and Michael Brown express their delight on the win over Bolton.

Goal hero Heskey explained to Wigan World after the 1-0 win over Wanderers that he felt the victory was totally justified.

The England man netted a first half volley and he told subscribers, "It was a massive win for us today, it didn't help that we were down to ten men early on but we got the result we felt we deserved."

The 30-year old managed to get on the end of a long Mario Melchiot throw in before firing the ball into the top net.

Heskey continued, "It was a strange one because it just came through and I could see everyone was going miss it so I just had to make sure I got a good contact."

Latics are now six points clear of Bolton but Heskey stated that there is still work to be done to keep the club out of trouble.

"We can see a bit of daylight but we cannot take our feet off the pedal. We must keep on going."

Midfielder Michael Brown also agreed that it was a worthy win especially with the early setback when Jason Koumas was harshly sent off for a tackle on Gary Cahill.

The tough tackler said "It was a massive three points especially when you consider the decision that went against us but it was a fantastic performance.

"He went straight in but he isn't really one for tackling and he is really disappointed but hopefully something can be done about it.

"It is really tough with just ten men at the best of times when you lose a man in the second half, but to lose someone in the first five minutes was very tough but we kept on going.

Brown also told Wigan World viewers that Latics must remain cautious of their league position in the coming weeks.

He added, "Six points is nothing really, we have to keep going until we really are safe."
