WIGAN Athletic produced their best away performance under manager Uwe Rosler to beat Derby County, according to the Latics boss.
The table-topping Rams lost 2-1 at the iPro Stadium on Saturday, ending a 12-match unbeaten run.
Wigan had started the day only a point above the Championship relegation zone.
"Before the game, nobody gave us a chance but this was the best away performance since I have been at the club," said Rosler.
"We had complete dedication to the game plan, demonstrating that we are not a group of individuals but that we are starting to come together and be a team.
"I am so proud as to how they reacted as a group and I think the players have answered the questions in a very impressive way."
James McClean came off the bench to score both of Wigan's goals after John Eustace had put the hosts in front.
"James McClean didn't sulk," added Rosler. "He understood the reason he didn't start and he came on and finished the job off."
