Tottenham Hotspur 9-1 Wigan Athletic. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who had to look twice when that scoreline flashed up on my screen on sunday evening. A display of attacking prowess against a Wigan Athletic team who, let's not forget, have beaten league leaders Chelsea this season, left Spurs and 5 goal hero Jermaine Defoe beaming. Since the late 90s where the likes of Newcastle managed an 8-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday and Manchester United recorded an 8-1 scoreline at Nottingham Forest with the likes of Alan Shearer and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer making the headlines, results of these proportions have been few and far between. So congratulations to Tottenham for pressing on throughout the second half and not sitting back when the game was beyond Wigan. The sport needs games like this once in a while, so the actual football being played can make the headlines, as opposed to refereeing decisions or off-field matters. Maybe Spurs can actually hope for Champions League football next season...Well, MAYBE.
