Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Wigan Athletic – Match Highlights (Premier League)

Gareth Bale reignited Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League title challenge with a brace in their 3-1 victory over Wigan at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham, who are now five points behind both Manchester clubs, took the lead through Bale, who collected Luka Modric’s sweeping pass and squeezed the ball inside Ali Al-Habsi’s near post.

Spurs lost Rafael van der Vaart to injury but doubled their lead moments later through Modric, who drilled in from 20 yards.

Bale doubled his tally for night with a trademark finish into the bottom corner, before Wigan pegged the home side back through James McArthur’s deflected effort.

Bale, playing Wigan on his own at times, could have scored a hat-trick but was thwarted twice late on.
