Latics in Spurs stalemate

Tottenham continued their disappointing start to the season after a goalless draw against Wigan on Sunday.

Spurs are still without a win this season and remain bottom of the Premier League despite a lively game at White Hart Lane.

The home side had the best of the first-half chances but failed to capitalise on a series of free-kicks around the Wigan box, David Bentley's deliveries failing to penetrate the Wigan defence.

Paul Scharner came closest for the visitors minutes before the break after his 20-yard strike forced Heurelho Gomes into an outstretched save.

Juande Ramos' side were denied a penalty after 64 minutes when substitute Aaron Lennon was needlessly clipped in the box by Maynor Figueroa.

Late chances for either side followed with Chris Kirkland saving a powerful Tom Huddlestone strike before Olivier Kapo's effort was tipped over by Gomes.
