Sunday’s live matches saw Portsmouth hand Tottenham another defeat while Wigan beat mega rich Man City at home.
Portsmouth defeated Tottenham 2-0 to keep them rooted to the bottom of the premier league & push Portsmouth up to 9th. There was hope for Tottenham in this game as Portsmouth had conceded 10 goals in there last 2 games but it didn’t turn out like that. It was Portsmouth who created most of the chances in the first half & took the lead after 34 minutes. It was a cross coming in which saw Jermaine Jenas handle inside the penalty box & it was up to Spurs old boy Jermain Defoe to step up & score from the penalty. Tottenham tired in the second half to get back into the game but it was Portsmouth who doubled their lead after Herurelho Gomez fumbled a Armand Traore shot & there was Peter Crouch to tap in. Tottenham couldn’t come back from that but the match did end bad for Portsmouth as Lassana Diarra was sent off for his second yellow card towards the end..
Wigan defeated Man City 2-1 at the JJB to move up to 10th were City stay 8th. The football match started very well with both teams looking like they wanted the win & nothing else but it was Wigan with the first goal. It was a scuffed corner from the left which was cleared but it fell to Antonio Valencia who was 25 yards out & he hit a fantastic strike which went screaming past Joe Hart & into the net. But it only took 7 minutes for Man City to draw level when a Elano free kick found its way to Vincent Kompany who bundled it in for the score. But on the 34th minute it took a very poor referee decision to alter the course of the match Wilson Palacios ran into the panalty box & was tackled by Javier Garrido & Palacios tumbled over it was such a bad theatrical dive it belonged in a pantomime but the ref gave the penalty & up stepped Amr Zaki to score & put Wigan back in front. The second half was all about Man City trying to get back into the game but they never really tested Wigan & it ended up a Wigan Win..
