Rodrigo Muniz double sees Fulham secure FA Cup win at Wigan - Wigan fought until the end and repeatedly threatened to equalise, but the Premier League side managed to avoid an upset at the Brick Commu

Rodrigo Muniz's double saw Fulham survive a scare at Wigan as Marco Silva's side progressed to the FA Cup fifth round.

Fulham boss Marco Silva praised Rodrigo Muniz for stepping up with a match-winning brace at Wigan in the FA Cup and continuing to push Raul Jimenez. The Brazilian striker was among 10 alterations for Saturday's fourth-round tie against the 2013 winners at the Brick Community Stadium.

Fulham travelled to the Brick Community Stadium having exited the FA Cup fourth round in four of the previous five seasons, and they needed to survive a late Wigan onslaught to avoid another early exit on Saturday. The Cottagers dominated the first half and should perhaps have led by more than Rodrigo Muniz's header at the break.
