Will Grigg hailed the greatest moment of his career after shattering Manchester City's quadruple dream by firing Wigan into the FA Cup quarter-finals. The Northern Ireland striker scored the only goal of a stormy fifth-round tie at the DW Stadium on Monday, netting after 79 minutes to stun the runaway Premier League leaders.

Grigg has been a regular scorer in the lower divisions in recent years and had already found the target against Bournemouth and West Ham in League One Latics' excellent cup run. He also scored twice for MK Dons in a famous League Cup win over Manchester United in 2014 but his latest feat topped the lot.
"I've scored against some Premier League teams and had some brilliant nights, a lot of promotions. But in terms of one single night, this is probably the best, against probably the best team in Europe at the moment. They've been flying. It's going to be difficult to top that and for me to get the goal was very special," Grigg said.
