Fair play to Sammon. Great goal

He mIght never score a more valuable goal if Wigan can pull off a miracle from here. Good right-footed finish under Green from about 12 yards out.

Good man Conor. Great touch and finish. More evidence the League of Ireland can produce players for the top level.

Should be an incredible last 10 minutes, Sammon just set up Moses who nearly scored.

Scores, great touch and a wonderful finish. Couldn't quite tell but it looked like he made a clover with his hands during his celebration.

How and why would you go about making a clover with your hands?

i am intrigued on that one too!!

Sammon should have won a peno too by the way...

He has a standard celebration - more of a heart than a clover. Thumbs together and forefingers together -

What a finish to the match, unfortunately West Ham are down and this drags Wolves back in to it.

How and why would you go about making a clover with your hands?
How? If you make your fingers like this, but keep the tips of your middle fingers together and stretched out while curling your index fingers in a bit you get a clover.

Why? I don't know, as Stu pointed out maybe it wasn't a clover.

I really doubt it was a clover. Has definitely secured his position for Stoke next week. Had a shaky first few but really threw himself round, and Wigan will need his physicality as much as anything next week. It's still going to be a huge ask - they're probably going to need 3 points which not many teams can claim to have won at the Britannia.

What an incredible game of football though. One of the best I've seen in a long, long time.

That's not a clover, it's supposed to be a heart.

Wigan striker Connor Sammon, who scored his side's winner to settle a thrilling match against West Ham: "At half time at 2-0 down, people are writing us off but we showed a lot of character. We got the early goal and that gave us a lot of belief. I didn't think the manager would put me straight on after half time. But I'm delighted to get my opportunity and to get the goal was brilliant for me. We're happy with today's win but we have to prepare and be ready for Stoke."

I think on the Killie forum when he was there they said it was him dedicating his goal to his girlfriend.

Re Conor's celebration, the wrestler Diamond Dallas Page used to do it. It's called ''The Diamond Cutter''

http://nahright.com/news/wp-content/images/ddp.jpg

He created the symbol in 1996 and later copyrighted it. In December 2005, Page filed a lawsuit against rapper Jay-Z, who, he claimed, had "illegally adopted his trademark hand gesture". Page accused Jay-Z of trademark and copyright infringement, and sought a prohibitive injunction and monetary damages. Jay-Z paid him an undisclosed amount of money, DDP dropped the lawsuit leaving both men with the right to flash the diamond. On August 31, 2010, Page filed a lawsuit against American electronica musical duo 3OH!3 for copyright infringement of his trademarked "Diamond Cutter" hand gesture. http://www.bloginity.com/blog/2010/09/06/3oh3-sued-diamond-dallas-page-hand-symbol/.....Conor could be next?? :rolleyes:

When you do that here its called "The Roc" for Jay-Z's Roc-a-fella Records. I also recall Diamond Dallas Page doing it in my wrestling watching days.

He was an unused sub for the previous four or five games; I think that's just his sixth PL appearance. The summer squad is very much a friendly thing I know, but I do think it's a bit early to be considering a call-up yet.

It'd be an imaginative selection, but let's face it: Walters, Long & Folan are Doyle's most likely replacements and let's not forget that Stephen Ward has been called up too.

Funny enough you'd think Kelly but apparently not from what I've read - played a whole season with Sunderland there but didn't score and that seems to be his only Premiership appearances. Morrison never scored a Prem goal either from what I can tell.

Agree - however I'd have him in over Keogh & poss Folan.

Subbed off shortly after the hour; didn't seem to have much of an impact going by the BBC updates (only mentioned once - for being offside - and they were generally second best for much of the game, even though they won and stayed up).

Wigan barely touched the ball in the first half but he was busy and made some good runs. Cleverley came on and made a difference with his ability to pick up the ball in deeper positions. Sammon had a snot moments before being subbed he should have done better with having made the chance himself.
