Injury hit Tottenham Hotspur were dealt a blow of the more metaphorical kind after a dire display at last-placed Wigan Athletic. Roberto Martinez's side were not overawed by their Champions League opponents, having beaten them once already this season at White Hart Lane, and were happy to soak up the rather weak attacks their guests threw at them before returning them with interest.
Wigan Athletic Vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Uninspiring Game Produces Uninspiring 0-0 Scoreline
Although Jermaine Jenas and Peter Crouch both had chances on Ali Al-Habsi's goal, it was Huerelhio Gomes who was in more danger of conceding, having to save from both Charles N'Zogbia and Connor Sammon to prevent Spurs from sinking to another embarrassing loss to the worst team in the league. It was a dreadfully poor performance, and Harry Redknapp won't be thrilled with his side's chances going into their Champions League match against Real Madrid in midweek.
As for Wigan, it’s yet another game whether they could have got more points than they did. Although it must be encouraging to be the better side against a team that’s currently fifth in the table, Roberto Martinez’s men have had a chronic inability to turn performances into points. They probably dropped two here.
