On Wednesday, there were two postponed matches in the English Premier League, in which Tottenham, mid-table in the standings, defeated Everton, while Watford and Wigan drew.
1-2
35‘ [0-1] Dimitar Berbatov
42‘ [1-1] Mikel Arteta
89‘ [1-2] Jermaine Jenas
The first dangerous opportunity was created by the visitors. After Jermaine Jenas' penalty shot, Pascalis Chimbonda headed the ball, but it went through the net from the outside of the goal. At 35 minutes, the hosts responded dangerously after Leon Osman, who returned from suspension, took a shot that narrowly missed the goal.
In the 39th minute, Tottenham scored a goal. Aaron Lennon passed the ball to Dimitar Berbatov, who sent it into the goal from a distance.
Everton's equalizing goal sparked a lot of discussions. After a collision between Everton's defender Anichebe and Tottenham's defender Dawson, the assistant referee indicated a foul by Anichebe, but the main referee Uriah Rennie awarded a penalty to Dawson and a free-kick to the visitors. Taking advantage of this, Mikel Arteta scored an excellent goal from a distance to level the score.
In the second half, Tottenham attacked more and more dangerously. Tim Howard stopped the shots created by the active D. Berbatov, and Robbie Keane once hit over the crossbar.
However, the visitors snatched the victory. Jermaine Jenas did that in the midst of the home crowd's celebration.
1-1
24‘ [1-0] Darius Henderson
40‘ [1-1] Caleb Folan
20‘ Fitz Hall (Wigan) sent off
In the previous round, Watford players fighting for survival in the league sought only victory in a match against Wigan, who currently occupy 17th place. The hosts had a successful start.
At 20 minutes, the away defender Fitz Hall saw a red card, and soon after Jordan Stewart's pass, Darius Henderson scored to make it 1-0.
But before the break, Caleb Folan equalized the difference.
In the second half, despite the numerical advantage on the field, Watford failed to take the initiative and snatch a crucial victory. Wigan did not sit back and constantly threatened the hosts' goal.
