Spurs on Cloud Nine

Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe scored five times to send his side back into the Champions League places as Harry Redknapp's men threatened to rack up double figures against Wigan at White Hart Lane.



Paul Scharner appeared to handle when he grabbed Wigan's goal but there was no handball controversy as Defoe was in such rampant form, with Aaron Lennon, Peter Crouch, David Bentley and Niko Kranjcar grabbing the other goals.

The clash was played on a Sunday following an agreement between the clubs so players could rest after the international break - and Defoe seemed the freshest of the players on display by grabbing his goals in the second half.

It takes his tally to 15 for Spurs and England this season and it means his club have scored more than five goals in five matches during the current campaign.

They were his first goals too since his needless dismissal against Portsmouth last month, which Spurs boss Redknapp criticised him for.

Redknapp will also be encouraged by his team looking more balanced following the return of England winger Lennon after missing three matches with an ankle injury.

Croatia midfielder Kranjcar was on the other flank, meaning Redknapp ditched his recent diamond formation and started with Robbie Keane on the bench following his World Cup efforts with Republic of Ireland last week.

Keane returned from international duty drained earlier in the season and after Thierry Henry's infamous handball for France earlier this week, Redknapp had been debating whether his skipper was mentally and physically ready to start.

Instead, he went with Crouch and Defoe in attack and it did not take long for them to get in their stride.

Wilson Palacios, making his first appearance against Wigan since leaving the club in January, started the move for the ninth-minute opener by feeding Lennon on the right, with the England winger sending over a gorgeous cross between goalkeeper Chris Kirkland and centre-back Titus Bramble. Crouch was at the back post to head home.

Lennon almost added a second immediately after creating the opener, forcing Kirkland to save his volley on the rebound after Emmerson Boyce cleared off the line to deny Defoe.

Kirkland also saved from Palacios at full stretch after a 25-yard drive, while Wigan's response was a volley from Mohamed Diame that flew wide.

Wigan had not won in London since 2006 when they defeated West Ham - and the threat Spurs posed meant it appeared unlikely they would break that run. Tom Huddlestone was the next to go close, with a drive that shaved Kirkland's post.

The visitors, however, kept looking for the counter-attack and Jason Scotland forced Heurelho Gomes to save at his near post after former Spurs full-back Erik Edman fed him the ball on the edge of the area. Charles N'Zogbia also went just over with a curling effort and got closer with a free-kick.

Defoe struck the bar before the break, then burst into a scoring frenzy after the restart.
The first came from another Lennon cross, with Defoe getting in front of Bramble and crashing his finish into the roof of the net. His second strike came after Palacios' ball forward was totally missed by Boyce, with Defoe keeping his cool to finish slot his finish into the far post.

Then came Scharner's moment of controversy. Hugo Rodallega crossed the ball from the left and the Austrian midfielder clearly used his hand to control before lashing past Gomes and into the roof of the net.

The Spurs bench were furious with referee Peter Walton for letting the goal stand - but Defoe restored the three-goal cushion with his hat-trick straight away.

Lennon crossed again and this time Defoe volleyed home at the near post, meaning he wrapped up his treble in just seven minutes - still short of Robbie Fowler's record when the Liverpool favourite struck in under five.

Lennon added the fifth himself after Crouch smuggled the ball out to his team-mate from a congested penalty area, with the winger angling his finish into the far post.

Defoe, in full flow now and demanding the ball, grabbed his fourth 21 minutes from the end by latching on to Vedran Corluka's ball and firing home off the post.

His fifth came after a mistake by Edman, with Defoe finishing through Kirkland's legs. Bentley's free-kick accounted for the eighth goal, his effort going in off the bar. Kranjcar's goal, the ninth, also went in off the woodwork.

Injury problems mount for troubled boss Benitez

Rafael Benitez will be a relieved man that the international break has finally arrived, hopeful that some of his injured players will return to fitness ahead of a crucial clash against Manchester City at Anfield on November 21.

Liverpool suffered more injury woe in the disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Birmingham City on Monday, with Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun both forced off.

Riera has suffered a stop-start season for the Reds, with his appearance against Blues being his first in a Liverpool shirt for over a month with a hamstring injury. The Spain international suffered a recurrance of the problem when stretching for a ball in the box and faces weeks on the sidelines.

More troublesome to Benitez is the injury suffered to Benayoun, one of the few bright spots this season and a player who has done much to try and fill the void left by Steven Gerrard. Benayoun also injured his hamstring late in the game and must be extremely doubtful to face City.

Fernando Torres, who declared himself unfit to face Birmingham, is also rated no better than doubtful to make a game which, if Liverpool were to lose, could have long-term implications on their ability to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Gerrard, although looking well short of match fitness, made a huge difference after being introduced for Riera just before half-time and, after a further two weeks of training and treatment, he should improve for the City game.

And Denmark defender Daniel Agger has withdrawn from November friendlies against South Korea and the United States with a back injury.

Liverpool face a hugely testing week once the international break is over.

Three days after facing City, Liverpool must travel to Hungary to play Debrecen in a must-win Champions League game which would be rendered meaningless by a Fiorentina win over Lyon in the other group game that night. Then, the following Sunday, comes the Merseyside derby at Everton's Goodison Park home.

Benitez hopes the international break has come at the right time, but is taking nothing for granted. He told the club's official website: "I will tell you after the break because every time we lose one or two players. I'm touching wood.

"Riera had the same problem as before. The players are sometimes available but not 100% ready. We thought he was okay but in the end you can see he wasn't.

"Yossi has the same problem as Riera. Some players are playing too many games in a row. They are working very hard and so you always have this risk. I think both will have tears.

"Agger also had a problem with his back. It's not serious but he felt it a little bit.

"Torres had no confidence and said he couldn't play, so we started the treatment yesterday [Monday]. He has to work with the physios and try to improve and be ready. We are not talking about an operation at this moment, we're talking about treating him properly.

"I don't know if he will be ready for Man City (in two weeks). The only thing I can say is we're talking about two or three weeks working with the physios. We haven't got a deadline, we just need to see how he is every day."

On Gerrard, Benitez added: "I think he will be okay. We have to check. There's small things but I think he'll be okay."

Benitez was frustrated with dominating possession against Birmingham but failing to get all three points. He said: "You have to be disappointed because it's a draw at home but the performance of the team was again pretty good, for me.

"We had plenty of possession and attempts, we showed character until the last minute. The fans were pushing. We couldn't get the third goal but we showed character. We had a lot of chances in the first half and it was unbelievable to see us losing 2-1 at half-time. We were attacking and attacking and I think we deserved to win.

"If you analyse the last games - against Lyon we conceded in the last minute twice, and then this game. You can't change the result but if you analyse you can see the team is doing well.

"The team is creating a lot of chances and sometimes you can't do any more. From the beginning we were on top of them. You didn't see a team that was thinking, 'Oh, we're playing badly.'

"For the last 15 minutes everyone in the stadium was thinking we'd score the third goal. Sometimes it's a question of accuracy and sometimes it's luck. We moved and passed the ball really well.

"Since three weeks or a month ago I've been saying the same - take one game at a time. I will not talk about the table or position. We won six games in a row before and then played really well against United under pressure. The reaction of the players has been fantastic - the only thing we couldn't do is get the three points."

Benitez admitted Lee Carsley's challenge on David Ngog probably should not have been a penalty.

"Maybe it wasn't a penalty but we deserved to score more goals," he said. "We have had a lot of situations against us this year - and now one for us in a game where we played well and deserved more. I was asking David afterwards and he said maybe it wasn't a penalty."

Obertan eyes regular place

Manchester United's £3 million summer signing Gabriel Obertan has given himself a year to become an Old Trafford regular and it could be at the expense of Portuguese flop Nani.


Gabriel Obertan: Ambitious Man United winger

The France Under-21 joined United from Ligue 1 club Bordeaux on the recommendation of former Red Devil and current les Girondins coach Laurent Blanc but knee surgery sidelined the winger soon after he arrived in England.
After almost four months out injured, Obertan finally made his debut in the Carling Cup victory at Barnsley last month and has since gone on to make two more appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's men - both as a substitute.
The Manchester Evening News report that Obertan's progress is already putting Nani's future at United in doubt and the Frenchman is eager to force his way into manager Sir Alex Ferguson's starting line-up on a regular basis.
"I wanted to feel part of the squad and be involved in the games, so I am feeling really good right now," said the 20-year-old. "At first I just want to be part of the squad, be in the group that travels to all the games, and get a few minutes on the pitch.
"But I have ambition. If I keep working hard and show what I can do, why not aim to be a regular in the team? I might need a year to achieve that, but I hope I can do it."
Portuguese international Nani has struggled to establish himself at United since his £18 million move from Sporting Lisbon in 2007 and now Obertan aims to leapfrog the winger in the pecking order.

Fabregas admits Arsenal were not on top form

Cesc Fabregas admitted Arsenal were not at their best despite demolishing Wolves 4-1 in their Premier League match at Wolves on Saturday.

The hosts began the game well and caused the Gunners problems, but Arsenal went ahead when Ronald Zubar deflected a corner into his own net, and defender Jody Craddock then deflected in Eduardo's off-target chip to make it 2-0 and two own goals.

Fabregas continued his fine scoring run as he finished off a counter-attack just before half-time and Andrei Arshavin made it four with a strike into the bottom corner before Craddock headed in a late consolation for Wolves.

"It was disappointing to concede from a set-piece like that," he told ESPN. "They played well. We were not at our best but still managed to score four."

Robin van Persie, who admitted Arsenal are hoping for a draw between Chelsea and Manchester United tomorrow, agreed with his team-mate's assessment.

"The first 20-25 minutes, Wolves were really pushing - and up to the goal, they were really committed," he said. "Then we scored another one - and the game was over."

Arsene Wenger was delighted to add another victory following the Champions League success against AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday, and feels their title challenge is firmly on track.

"We conceded a goal, but overall it was a good performance," he told ESPN. "They made a strong start but, once we got ahead, we controlled it. I'm pleased, because we had the Champions League game in midweek and we won today 4-1. Our belief is there. We want to give our best in every game. We have great potential and we can go from strength to strength."

Abou Diaby suffered an injury in the first half and Wenger said: "We don't know what it is yet. It looks like a calf strain."

Latics fail to see off Cottagers

Wigan suffered considerable frustration after failing to finish off Roy Hodgson's hard-working Fulham side in a contest that saw the Londoners return to the capital with a valuable 1-1 draw.

Roberto Martinez's side at least put their embarrassment of last week's drubbing at the hands of the Premier League's bottom club behind them but it could have been so much better.

Wigan dominated almost throughout, driven on by their lanky French midfielder Mohamed Diame, and led through Emmerson Boyce's strike only for Clint Dempsey to grab an equaliser from the spot.

While the Premier League heavyweights were slugging it out at Stamford Bridge, this was very much the undercard - a contest between two super welterweights, and one that, had it been a boxing match, Wigan would have won easily on points.

The experience was more like watching a league match on the continent as style was preferred to muscle and both sides played some attractive stuff.

Wigan cannot afford much more of this generosity at home however or they will soon drop from their mid-table spot.

The home side were threatening from the off as Charles N'Zogbia's wicked free-kick towards the back post came within inches of vital contact from both Titus Bramble and Hugo Rodallega.

Fulham then came even closer as Bobby Zamora carved out a terrific opportunity for his strike partner Erik Nevland with an inviting ball over the defence.

Nevland, who had timed his run to perfection, left Chris Kirkland stranded with a looping header and time seemed to stand still as, amid almost complete silence inside the stadium, the ball dropped towards goal, clipped the inside of the post and bounced along the line before being hacked clear.

Wigan went one better, taking the lead in the 14th minute with a goal that would have had Hodgson tearing his hair out.

Paul Scharner beat two defenders to meet Erik Edman's cross and headed the ball back to Boyce, completely unmarked eight yards out and with time to control the ball and steer it past Mark Schwarzer.

Schwarzer performed heroics two minutes later to keep the visitors in the game, with a stunning save to turn N'Zogbia's thunderous 30-yard strike onto the crossbar.

He had to be alert again after a one-two between Rodallega and Jason Scotland led to the Colombia international trying a first-time shot that the Australian keeper only just managed to smother.

Wigan continued to press and Rodallega threatened with a bending direct free-kick that deflected just over, then Scharner headed over both keeper and crossbar after Bramble delivered a telling pass.

All that good work was undone however as panic in the Wigan ranks led to a penalty for Fulham. Two chances to clear the ball were passed up and, when Dempsey shaped to shoot, Titus Bramble - who was otherwise excellent - dived in from behind to concede the spot-kick.
Dempsey took the penalty himself, rifling to Kirkland's left with a minimum of fuss for the American's third league goal of the season.

An amazing double save by Kirkland kept the scores level as Dempsey and Jonathan Greening were both denied the Wigan keeper.

Dempsey's wickedly-struck free-kick was pushed aside by Kirkland and he was still prone as Greening pounced on the follow-up, somehow managing to get his hands up in time to turn away the shot.

It was a case of 'anything you can do' at the other end then as Schwarzer, at full stretch, tipped over Scharner's curler as it headed towards the top corner.

Rodallega blasted high and wide as Wigan tried to rediscover their first-half dominance, then Schwarzer had to parry Hendry Thomas' bullet header from Rodallega's corner.

A thrilling run from N'Zogbia across the penalty area nearly led to an equally thrilling goal but Schwarzer's fingertips just took the pace off the ball and Brede Hangeland was able to clear.
Rodallega continued to look Wigan's most likely provider of a winner as he landed a free-kick on the roof of the net, then Duff nearly contrived an unlikely winner only for Kirkland to save low down at full stretch.

There was a final chance in the last minute after Dickson Etuhu had barged over Diame, but N'Zogbia's free-kick was tame and straight at Schwarzer.

Moyes hails Everton after win

Following the final whistle manager David Moyes hailed Everton's resilience after they battled to a first Premier League win since the end of September.

"We have not played that well, so we cannot ask for any more," said Moyes. "When it was 2-0, I felt we had shored it up with nearly a perfect away performance where you have got the goals, but did not play that well.

"The key is always to find a winning formula, and today we have found one. But we need to play better than we have done. At the moment, we are lacking just a bit of quality. October was a tough month, with probably too many matches for the same group of players.

"Nevertheless, I thought they showed great character to hang in there at the end of what has been a difficult period for them."

The defeat ended the Hammers' revival, which had seen them unbeaten for three matches after securing a morale-boosting win over Aston Villa at Upton Park last Wednesday night through a last-minute goal from Zavon Hines.

Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola once again could not fault his side's effort, but admitted he was at a loss to comprehend another defeat.

"It is a big question mark for me, how can we lose a game like that," he said. "We have to analyse the problems first and find solutions.

"I felt the players gave everything. Their attitude and their commitment was very good. But we have to find out straight away what is not working well, because it is not doing us any favours."
Zola's men face fellow strugglers Hull after the international break.

"What can you do? We probably need to show even more desire," Zola said. "When I look into things I can only see the team tried until the end. We are making mistakes, but we are fighting and we want to change things."

The Hammers boss added: "I am not worried because I think we can certainly improve the situation.

"We are going to fight until the end and we will find the solutions and we will finds them as quickly as possible. I am confident and I trust the players. We are determined to make things different, and that is what matters."

Zola, meanwhile, has not yet given up hope of seeing striker Dean Ashton back playing again.
Zola said: "Until someone tells me he is not going to make it, I am still confident he is going to come back. For the boy and for us we hope he will make it. I can't say more than that. Dean is working his way back on his own and with his own physio. I don't know when I will hear anything."

Fergie unhappy with ref after Chelsea defeat

Sir Alex Ferguson took another swipe at a referee as Manchester United's Premier League title hopes were dealt a blow at Stamford Bridge.

The United boss, who branded Alan Wiley "unfit" last month, this time claimed referee Martin Atkinson's decisions - which led to Chelsea's goal in a 1-0 victory - were the kind which lead managers and players to "lose faith in refereeing".

Atkinson awarded a free-kick for Darren Fletcher's challenge on Ashley Cole, and Wes Brown appeared to be impeded as Frank Lampard's delivery was turned into the net by a combination of captain John Terry and Nicolas Anelka.

An angry Ferguson told Sky Sports: "Clearly, Darren Fletcher's won the ball - Ashley Cole's never touched and has jumped up in the air - and then (Didier) Drogba's pulled Brown to the ground for the goal.

"The referee's position to make the decision was absolutely ridiculous - he can't see anything. He's got a Chelsea player (Joe Cole) standing right in front of him - and he doesn't even move.
"It was a bad decision, but there's nothing we can do about it. You lose faith in refereeing sometimes, that's the way the players are talking in there - it was a bad one."

Ferguson stopped short of blaming Atkinson for his side's defeat, which leaves them trailing leaders Chelsea by five points.

He said: "That goal should never have been allowed. We've dominated the game. We've had great chances to win the match, and that's our fault.

"We had great opportunities to get to the edge of the box and some really good chances in and around the box, but we should be finishing it off. We've only ourselves to blame in that respect. But you do need a break - and we never got the break we needed."

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti was also unhappy, with the way United players appeared to try to get one of his players sent off.

In a stormy second half, United midfielder Fletcher waved an imaginary card in an apparent attempt to get Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho dismissed.

Ancelotti said: "The Manchester players protested a lot. I don't know why. I don't like this. At the end of a very difficult match, all the players worked very hard - and sometimes it can happen."

Ancelotti admitted Drogba might have been offside for Chelsea's goal but said: "It was very difficult for the linesman to see. There was a lot of concentration of players in the box.

"We are in good position in the Premiership and in the Champions League. The players have done very well. We have to continue, because there will be other strong matches like today."
Ferguson, meanwhile, admitted the defeat - United's third on the road this season - was more significant than their recent 2-0 reverse at Liverpool.

"The fact is Chelsea go five points clear of us," he said. "The defeat to Liverpool didn't affect our position in the league."

Terry praised Chelsea's team effort, saying: "Another clean sheet for us today - we talk about the attacking players and midfielders coming back and working hard for the team, and that's exactly what we got today.

"(The five-point lead) was exactly what we wanted coming into the game - we've been working on it all week. That wasn't the best of games, but I think overall we deserved it."
On the scorer of the goal, Terry said: "I got a touch on it but I think maybe Nico (Anelka) got the second touch - but I'm still claiming it.

"I was watching the stats before the game and I've never scored against them home and away. But Nico's been brilliant today, so he deserves it."

Anelka added: "I don't know; I think I touched the ball, but maybe John will claim it. We played good football and we had some chances - but we stayed compact in defence.
"It's always good to have five points on top of United."
