Wigan shocks Spurs

Soccer Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hugo Rodallega's goal 10 minutes from time handed Wigan an unlikely 1-0 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

The result came just a few days after Tottenham sealed a place in the group stage of the Champions League with a 4-0 win over Young Boys, and it was all the more surprising considering that Wigan had been outscored 10-0 in its first two games to start the season.

The Latics flashed an early warning sign in the eighth minute when Steve Gohouri smashed a shot off the crossbar after a knockdown from Mauro Boselli, but Spurs seemed a step slower than they did in midweek, and the first half ended without much incident.

Wigan looked to be the more dangerous side in the second half as Antolin Alcaraz somehow fired over the net from a few yards, while substitute Jordi Gomez also wasted a good chance from close range.

Rodallega provided both crosses on the missed opportunities, but he found the net himself in the 80th minute with a low shot that goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini probably should have stopped.

Tottenham pressed forward for the equalizer in the final 10 minutes, but both Niko Kranjcar and Michael Dawson had their shots saved by Ali Al Habsi, while Younes Kaboul headed wide from five yards in stoppage time.

Chelsea continued its winning ways with a 2-0 win over Stoke City, while Manchester United rebounded from a 2-2 draw at Fulham with a comfortable 3-0 win against West Ham.

Andrei Arshavin's second-half goal helped Arsenal to a 2-1 win over Blackburn, a goal from Dickson Etuhu in the 87th minute salvaged a 2-2 draw for Fulham at Blackpool and Andrew Carroll scored his fourth goal in three games for Newcastle as the Magpies finished 1-1 with Wolverhampton.
