Arouna Kone was not the sole Wigan player who was whistling the Fantastic Escape last night. A colossal, controversial contest was capped by kone by poking a 90th-minute winner into the roof of the Newcastle net to offer their first house gain to the Latics in nine. Ranks before he poked house in a struggle - the last insult to enhance injury as a handball was claimed by them whilst the Ivory Coast striker went down to celebrate there clearly was rage in the Toon. But that dispute was nothing compared to the fury and fire caused by an X-rated foul by small Callum McManaman on Newcastle sub Massadio Haidara. McManaman caught Haidara high and unbelievably, buckling his knee horrifically. Referee Mark Halsey missed the episode as his view was blocked. The French defense was stretchered off - his time over and his profession actually at risk. Flashpoint: Angry participants react to McManaman's tackle at half-time Alex Livesey The Latics winger, making his first full Premier League look, might be struck by having an FA bar if the mistake is reviewed by Halsey. If he'd been sent off immediately it may likewise have changed the span of the game. Newcastle chef Alan Pardew was in a lather concerning the crucial moments and said: aThe handle was awful. He apologised and I talked to Mark and said that he had missed it. Amazement also felt the ball hit a hand, the participants ended simply because they thought it was so clear. I am disappointed.a On the handball claim Wigan chef Roberto Martinez was gleeful and said: aIf thatas the case we are happy. Our whole period has been about poor decisions against us. Sometimes you have the breaks, often you donat.a Newcastle had a horrible day on the harm top. Straight back Mathieu Debuchyas sport only lasted 12 minutes, ironically taking a when he ascoreda an offside target. The effect was felt also since the Toon had to shuffle their defenders - and Latics used the weakness with a badly-needed opener. McManaman sent over an apple of a cross that reached fellow winger Jean Beausejour. The Chilean shot hard, low and through Newcastle legs. Latics did not show any sympathy for the Haidara episode - clear inside their position - and Shaun Maloney went close to another with a curler saved by owner Rob Elliot. David McCarthy strode through the middle and was only denied with a super tackle from Jonas Gutierrez, the 3rd left back of Newcastleas unfortunate day. The Toon were misfiring up front, with Papiss Cisse missing a caretaker when he poked over the bar with just Robles to beat - and sub James Perch better placed to report. More edge was added even by the ugly scenes at half-time to the game and Perch was arranged for whacking Kone on the knee. But at the very least he can play on. McManaman of people came near a getting second before he limped off. Sub James McArthur very nearly managed to get safe with a work and deflected shot wide. Wigan were designed to spend when Cisse flicked a move beyond the defence. Davide Santon galloped forward and shot across Robles for an excellent equaliser. Kone head: Ivorian striker seals an unlikely Wigan gain at the death Alex Livesey The excellent Maloney almost conjured another from the late set-piece. Cisse may have Newcastle ahead when he was inches from turning in Shola Ameobias mix. It absolutely was frenzied and rapid even before the success.
