Wigan Athletic fined for pitch invasion after FA Cup win over Manchester City

Wigan Athletic have been fined Â£12,500 for the pitch invasion following their win over Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round in February.

Fans invaded the pitch at the full-time whistle, with one involved in an altercation with City striker Sergio Aguero.

The Football Association said Wigan were fined for "failing to ensure that no spectators or unauthorised persons encroached onto the pitch".

It was the third time in five years Latics have beaten City in the competition.

Wigan won the 2013 final 1-0, and the following year's quarter-final 2-1.

This season, Will Grigg was the hero, scoring the only goal in the 1-0 win.

Latics, who are aiming for the League One title after securing promotion last Saturday, admitted the charge.
