Keane leads Spurs comeback

Emile Heskey, Leighton Baines and Kevin Kilbane all put Wigan in front at various stages of a pulsating game at the JJB Stadium.

But first Dimitar Berbatov hauled Tottenham level before captain Robbie Keane scored a double, with his first from the penalty spot to make it 38 goals for the duo this season.

It took Wigan just 55 seconds to open the scoring from Denny Landzaat's inswinging delivery.

The Spurs rearguard failed to clear its lines and Heskey nodded home his third goal in successive matches.

However, the lead lasted just 135 seconds as Keane danced into the area and after he squared the ball to Berbatov, the Bulgarian skipped past two tackles before toe-poking home his 20th of the season from 10 yards.

At that stage the Latics appeared on the ropes, yet they clawed their way back into the game, and regained the lead on the half-hour courtesy of Baines' venomous left-foot drive from 30 yards out.

But again Wigan failed to hold on for any length of time as Keane equalised from the spot just under five minutes later following John Filan's challenge on Jermaine Jenas.

On the hour they again went in front courtesy of Kilbane's first goal for the club following his #2million move from Everton last summer, with the winger heading home a corner from substitute Ryan Taylor.

Yet Wigan fell asleep in defence again just eight minutes later on this occasion - and to simple route one football. A long goal-kick from Paul Robinson was misjudged by Matt Jackson, and from 35 yards out Keane delivered a precise lob over the stranded Filan.
