While true, I wouldn't say that Spurs didn't deserve to lose, Wigan had several beautiful chances that they squandered.
And yeah, they parked the bus, but if you're a team whose entire goal is to avoid relegation and you've got a 1-0 lead at WHL you park the team coach in front of the net. Astute moves from the Wigan coach as well.
As I've related to rubecube, this Spurs team is right back to midtable without an elite striker and some support for King. King had a spectacular game today, take him out and Spurs lose embarrassingly.
Not to mention, based on what I've heard I don't know how heavily they can keep leaning on Defoe.
It was an entertaining match though. Great fun to watch.
