Jermain Defoe fired in five goals as Tottenham Hotspur destroyed Wigan Athletic 9-1 at White Hart Lane in the Premier League. More
90+4' The final whistle goes, and Spurs equal the Premier League record for the most goals scored in a single match, as does Defoe with his personal haul of five. Quite simply breathtaking.
90+3' GOAL!! Too easy for Tottenham as Bentley gives it to Kranjcar, and the Croat turns and blasts in a shot right into the top corner! Surely that's it now. Surely.
88' GOAL!! And another, this time for Bentley! The substitute hits and lovely bending free-kick that hits the bar and then rebounds in off the back of Kirkland's head! When it's not your day, it's really not your day!
87' GOAL!! Erik Edman woefully miscontrols a long ball and Defoe pounces for his FIFTH of the match!! Is this really the same team that beat Villa and Chelsea earlier in the season?
85' Mario Melchiot is replaced by Cho Won-Hee for Wigan.
84' Just before the corner is taken Jermaine Jenas replaces Palacios.
83' Defoe is played clean through again and it could be FIVE... Boyce slides in to make a great tackle and concede the corner.
81' Another change for Spurs now as Assou-Ekotto makes way for Sebastien Bassong.
78' Tottenham make a change now as Lennon is repalced by David Bentley. A goal and three assists for Lennon is not a bad return after a month out injured.
77' Palacios is down injured after Rodallega stepped on his ankle. Hard to know if he meant it or not, but either way Palacios is receiving treatment.
69' GOAL!! Spurs come forward again and Corluka slides a ball into the path of Defoe who just can't miss at the moment and he fires in his FOURTH of the match!
67' Roberto Martinez makes the game's first change. He brings on Jordi Gomez in place of Hendry Thomas.
65' Defoe is away again, on his own... and offside.
65 GOAL!! Crouch plays it out to Lennon on the right and he fires low into the far corner! Lennon certainly deserves his goal after setting up three. Spurs now 5-1 up!
62' Defoe released into acres of space down the left, but he's offside.
61' Crouch is at the far post with a header... Another good save from Kirkland!
58' GOAL!! Spurs hit right back and it's a hat-trick for Defoe! Lennon cuts a ball back from the byline and Defoe once more blasts into the net from close range!
57' GOAL!! That's a good start! Rodallega finds Scharner unmarked with a cross, and the Austrian blatantly controls with his hand before firing into the net! The referee has given it! Wonder where Scharner got that idea from?
55' Kranjcar sends a ball to the far post and Crouch hits it back across goal. The ball deflects off of Kirkand and Bramble has to hack it away!
54' GOAL!! Palacios plays a through ball up to Defoe that Boyce fails to cut out. Defoe takes the ball wide but fires a clinical shot across Kirkland and into the far corner!
51' GOAL!! It's a second assist for Lennon as his curling low ball is hammered into the roof of the net by Defoe! That's seven goals in 11 Premer League appearances for the England striker.
47' Palacios gives Rodallega a nasty nibble on the ankle, and the Colombian striker has stayed down. He looks in some pain.
46' Wigan get the second half underway!
HT By the way, Kranjcar received his booking near the end of the half for a trip on Melchiot, which was perhaps a little harsh.
45+2' Tottenham can't work a chance from the corner and the whistle goes for half-time. An impressive showing from Spurs but Wigan are still in this game at the break.
45+1' Defoe is fed out wide but turns back towards goal as though Bramble wasn't there. He lines up a strike... tipped on to the roof of the net by Kirkland!
39' N'Zogbia checks inside Assou-Ekotto and bends a shot just wide of the far top corner! Good effort.
34' Defoe is through after a neat reverse pass from Kranjcar... he hits the bar!! Kirkland may have got a fingertip to it, if so then it was a great save!
32' Lennon pops up on the left now. Kranjcar finds Huddlestone who plays a through ball up to Defoe, who is offside again.
31' The ball curls in and it's an easy catch for Gomes. The keeper throwd the ball straight to Edman who finds SCOTLAND... Saved by Gomes! He atoned for his error there.
29' Edman plays a ball down the channel and it's out for a corner. Headed away at the near post by Huddlestone and Scharner is offside when the ball comes back in.
25' Defoe wins another corner off of Bramble. Played short to Lennon and then Kranjcar squares it for Huddlestone... drilled inches wide of the foot of the post!
19' Palacios has time and space to fire a solid effort from distance, but Kirkland dives and catches it with two hands.
11' Huddlestone pings the ball out to Lennon, who whacks a first time cross over for Crouch. The looping header is too high for Defoe and Lennon's follow-up shot is saved and held by Kirkland. Wigan really under it now.
10' Defoe is caught offside as he looked to turn and charge towards goal.
9' GOAL!! Defoe comes out wide and holds the ball up well. Lennon bends a ball across the six-yard box and Crouch stoops in to head Spurs in front! That's his second in the league this season.
5' Diame can't fully clear and Spurs come again. Palacios lifts it to Crouch a the near post... the header is glanced high and iwde. Bright start from Tottenham.
2' Lennon gets his first chance to scamper down the right. His squares a ball across the edge of the six-yard box and Crouch toe-pokes wide!

TOTTEN'EM UPSPURS !! keep it going boys!! lots more to come.......

brilliant

WOW !!!! 9 - 1 to spurs and no surprise too, what the hell was the wigan maneger thinking this has to be the biggest score total for spurs i've seen in years. SPURS ROCK

Wigan were lucky! It could have been a lot more! Well done Spurs!

Nine goals against any Premier team is an awesome result, and realise that, I was at the Spurs v Liverpool game and I agree we were lucky only to loose 2-1. I can't see Liverpool winning anything this this season, which is very disappointing, but a slight consolation is that we beat the mancs again, and if when we beat them again I'll be happy as a pig in poo. To be honest, and you have to agree, the mancs are gonna win @#$% all also.

I love all the Chelsea & Liverpool fans going off on one about this result saying that theyd like to see Tottenham score 9 against teams like themselves, United etc and that Wigan are a 'poor' side - also telling them not to get too excited...
Wigan are SO poor infact that Chelsea lost 3-1 to them :-)....
And Spurs might not have got the nine goals against the Scousers, but at least they still beat you didn't they??
Well done Spurs, great result. From a Man United fan

Very disappointed, I've got Defoe in my Dream Team, another goal would have given me an extra 10 points. Come on Jerome, pull your socks up ! I wish he played for Liverpool. Him and Ngog fighting for a starting place would put El Zhar under pressure ????????????

well done spur
