    Ben Watson's goal gives Wigan a 1-0 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane

    Ben Watson's goal early in the second-half was enough for Wigan to claim a surprise 1-0 win over below-par Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

    Spurs had come in to the game having won five of their last six Premier League matches, but they were desperately poor this afternoon. The home fans knew that with games against Manchester City and Arsenal coming up, this had been a perfect opportunity to register three more valuable points after last weekend's morale-boosting win over Southampton. The supporters also turned against Villas-Boas 10 minutes into the second half when he substituted Jermain Defoe for Emmanuel Adebayor. Loud boos rang out at White Hart Lane and the home fans chanted the name of the England striker, who sauntered off the pitch before going down the tunnel.
