Tottenham Gives Wigan 9-1 Hiding in Premier League - 11-25-09

November 25 - While this weekend saw some impressive football action in the English Premier League, arguably the most head-scratching game of all was between Tottenham Hotspur and Wigan Athletic, where the former gave the latter an unbelievable 9-1 drubbing. Yes you read correctly, 9-1.

Before I even begin to give you a run down on what will probably become known as the worst English Premier League result of 2009, let me first tell you that the Wigan Athletic players were so mortified at the poor way they played on Sunday, that they have offered to refund fans that paid to watch them.

Now I know what you're thinking and no this is not an April Fool's article that was accidentally left on the editor's desk. On Sunday Wigan Athletic did have nine goals scored against them, and their red-faced players have officially offered to refund up to £15,000 to fans who trekked south to watch them.

Said Wigan captain, Mario Melchiot on the team website: 'We feel that as a group of players we badly let down our supporters, and this is a gesture we have to make to pay them back for their tremendous loyalty. Now we have to ... focus completely on training this week to bounce back on Saturday.'

During the match itself, Wigan Athletic - which is currently 15th in the English Premier League standings - didn't play to badly in the first half but in the second half absolutely fell to pieces, as the team conceded eight goals. 'As professionals, we were embarrassed by the way we performed,' said Melchiot.

And in other results of the shocking kind, Sunderland beat Arsenal 1-0 on Saturday, adding yet another couple of frown lines to the crinkly face of Gunners' manager, Arsene Wenger. After the game the Frenchman accused his players of 'choking' in their quest to bring home the Premier League title.

On Saturday, Everton found out the hard way why Manchester United are the number two team in the English Premier League, when they went down 3-0. And Wolverhampton did not fare much better against Chelsea, when the Blues triumphed 4-0. Here are the full English Premier League Football results:
