Wigan and Swansea City fans have praised Jay Fulton's performance after the loan man came off the bench to help the Latics seal an unlikely win over giants Manchester City in the FA Cup.

The League One side weathered a City storm at times to beat the runaway Premier League leaders 1-0 at the DW Stadium last night.

Fulton started the game on the bench but was introduced early in the match after Nick Powell pulled up with an injury.

Pep Guardiola's side were reduced to 10 men just before half-time after Fabian Delph was sent off for a dangerous tackle.

That raised temperatures in Lancashire and the teams' staff clashed in the tunnel at the break.

City dominated possession after the restart but Will Grigg's well-taken second-half strike sent the home side through to the quarter-finals.

Although Grigg was named the official man of the match, Fulton earned a lot of plaudits for his performance in only his second outing for Paul Cook's side.

And he made one young fan's evening after the match, handing the youngster his shirt at the full-time whistle as fans swarmed the pitch in celebration.

The 23-year-old will see out the rest of the season with Cook's side.

He made four appearances for Swansea earlier on this season but looked for game-time further down the football ladder with opportunities under Carlos Carvalhal looking limited in SA1.
