London  - Tottenham Hotspur remain in the Premier League's relegation zone after crashing 1-0 Sunday at Wigan Athletic.

Maynor Figueroa headed home Ryan Taylor's corner past Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes one into injury time to register the Latics' first ever win over their London rivals at the ninth attempt.

The defeat means Harry Redknapp's side remain third from bottom with 20 points while Wigan stay seventh on 31 points thanks to their sixth win in seven games.

Defending champions Manchester United can narrow the gap to leaders Liverpool to five points with two games in hand with victory over second-placed Chelsea in the day's later game at Old Trafford. dpa
