Wigan keeper Ali Al-Habsi has said that the club's performances versus Chelsea and Liverpool were "fantastic".
The Latics, who have been at the bottom of the table for much of the season so far, have taken points from two of the Premier League's top sides in the span of one week.
Speaking after the game, the Oman international insisted that the club have come on since the start of the campaign.
"It's a big result," he told Sky Sports News. "The last three games we have been fantastic. Three points at West Brom and then two big teams here [at the DW Stadium].
"Everyone thought Wigan would be struggling, but we showed, as we do in training and in the dressing room, that we'll fight to stay in this league.
"To play like we did against Chelsea and Liverpool, we showed we're improving."
Wigan will next travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
