Jermain Defoe made history in this incredible game, becoming only the 4th player for Spurs to score 5 goals in a competitive game and the first player in the Premier League to hit 5 goals in one half of football to help Spurs to their biggest win in over 30 years; and it was only 1-0 at half time! It was a day to remember for all those who braved the winds at The Lane, as the team put on a devastating display to brush aside the Latics. Defoe was the hero with his goal scoring exploits but Aaron Lennon was also instrumental in the victory setting up 3 and getting on the score sheet as well. With performances like this one, the sky is the only limit for Harry Redknapp's side this season, which seems to be ever-improving.
