The England striker, watched by national team boss Fabio Capello, did not have a single shot on goal as Spurs struggled to match their hosts' energy and invention.

In a game short on chances the breakthrough finally came in the 91st minute when left-back Figueroa headed home Ryan Taylor's corner.

It was the Honduran's first goal for the club since arriving last January and typified the spirit which manager Steve Bruce has engendered among his squad.

With Emile Heskey and Amr Zaki returning after injury both lacked a little sharpness and so it was important other members of the side did their bit.

The visitors, with Ledley King in a holding role in front of the back four, began brightly but faded badly.

In the second minute, King's header from Jamie O'Hara's left-wing free-kick was half-saved by Chris Kirkland, with the goalkeeper turning Michael Dawson's follow-up behind.

Defoe's first real intervention saw him fouled by Titus Bramble on the left of the Wigan area but O'Hara screwed wide Luka Modric's free-kick.

Then, in the first of four minutes of injury time, Wigan's goal came from the unlikeliest of sources.

Taylor swung over another corner and left-back Figueroa rose highest to head past Heurelho Gomes.
