• Seven-minute hat-trick in eight-goal second half
• 'He is an amazing finisher,' says Spurs' manager
Harry Redknapp proclaimed Jermain Defoe as the "best finisher" in the English game after seeing the striker become only the third player, after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, to score five times in a Premier League game as Tottenham Hotspur inflicted a humiliating 9-1 defeat on Wigan Athletic.
The win was Spurs' best for 32 years â€" and the worst in the Latics' history as a league club â€" and hoisted them back into fourth place while significantly closing the gap in goal difference with third-placed Arsenal. Tottenham scored eight times in the second half as Wigan sank without trace and Defoe notched a hat-trick in seven minutes, the second quickest since the inception of the Premier League in 1992.
