Tottenham Hotspur 3 Wigan Athletic 1:Two goals in 89 scintillating seconds inspired Tottenham to victory over battling Wigan at White Hart Lane.

Martin Jol's side had trailed to Henri Camara's 24th-minute opener but fought back in stunning style just prior to the interval through Jermain Defoe, his 50th in the Barclays Premiership, and Dimitar Berbatov.

Tottenham's early pressure failed to bring them the reward of an opening goal and Wigan, with four clean sheets in the last five games, were beginning to enjoy more of the possession.

The visitors deservedly opened the scoring in the 24th minute through Camara. He had been a constant threat to the Spurs defence and made no mistake when he found himself unmarked in the penalty.

However, in the 42nd minute Defoe put Spurs back on level terms when he finished off a neat move in style.

Didier Zokora's through ball to Berbatov saw the Bulgarian striker lay the ball on to Defoe and the England forward's quick feet completely fooled Boyce as he turned and fired home.

Seconds later Berbatov put the home side ahead when he latched on to a pass from Benoit Assou-Ekotto and raced clear of Matt Jackson before lofting his shot over Kirkland.

The Bulgarian striker also set up the third for winger Aaron Lennon when he cut back from the left in the last minute.

The win means that Tottenham have moved up to 10th place with Wigan 11th.
