Bitter Sweet Week for Espinoza - Former SKC Wizards Update

A bitter sweet week for Roger Espinoza and Wigan Athletic.  On Saturday, Wigan pulled off a huge upset of Manchester City and won the FA Cup for the club's first silverware. Espinoza became only the second player to win the US Open Cup and FA Cup after Freddie Ljunberg.  Unfortunately 3 days later Wigan hit a low as they were relegated from the Premier League and will be playing in the Championship next season.  Here's the rest of this week's update.
