Another one of our teams talks about his favourite game. This time it's Manchester City v Wigan Athletic in the 2013 Fa Cup Final
Despite not retaining the Premier League title, City were meant to have a relatively straightforward afternoon against a Wigan side that was to be relegated a few days later.
It didn't quite turn out like that...
Ben Watson's last-minute goal won the FA Cup and gave Wigan a major trophy for the first time in their history.
Wigan were relegated a few days later following a defeat to Arsenal. Man City sacked Roberto Mancini and eventually replaced him with Manuel Pellegrini.

"The Wigan end of the stadium erupted as Ben Watson scored the winner.
"The video of Dave Whelan celebrating at the end will always make me smile"
