New Tottenham signing Vedran Corluka is convinced the club are too good to be bottom of the Premier League. However the Croatia defender, bought from Manchester City, warned they must string a run of wins together soon or they will be in deep trouble.

Spurs stayed anchored to the foot of the table with their worst league start for 34 years.

He admitted: "Everybody expected us to win against Wigan but unfortunately we took only one point so, of course, everyone is frustrated.

"We worked very hard but we were also very unlucky. Obviously we didn't do enough to win the game because we have just one point from it but I'm convinced we only have to keep working hard, keep trying and results will come.

"We are a good team - too good certainly for the last place in the Premier League. I think we just need that first win to cheer us up and then everything will be okay.

"But we don't have the time to wait for that victory. We need to recover soon or else it will be very hard for us. We need not only a win but then to win several games in a row.

"It doesn't matter what competition it is, we just need wins. For sure, our confidence may not be on a high level at the moment but only results can change that.

"Hopefully those results will soon come if we believe in ourselves and we'll take up the position in the table that we deserve."
