It was a further landslide trouble for Cardiff City and their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjasker as Wigan Athletic kept alive their dream of successfully defending the FA Cup. First-half goals from Chris McCann and last year’s Cup final hero Ben Watson provided the visitors with a safe passage into the last eight.
