Striker Hugo Rodallega's second goal of the season was enough to see Wigan beat West Ham 1-0 at the DW Stadium and ease some of the pressure on manager Roberto Martinez.

The Colombia striker pounced in the 55th minute to stab home Jason Koumas' blocked shot and end a run of three successive Premier League defeats for the Latics.

Prior to that the main point of interest had been the form of England goalkeeper Robert Green, who produced decent saves to deny Rodallega and Jordi Gomez in the first half.

Green's performance was in stark contrast to that of England team-mate Carlton Cole, who showed little international class and was less of a threat than 20-year-old strike partner Zavon Hines on his first start of the season.

That would partly explain why the Hammers have scored only three goals in four matches and drawn a blank in their last two.

However, Rodallega's goal was also Wigan's first at home in three games and only their fourth all season, which gives an indication of where Martinez's side have to improve.
