Tottenham No2 Kevin Bond says their win over Wigan Athletic was much needed.

Bond was delighted with the way they dug in at the DW.

"People had been suggesting that we hadn't been doing as well as we might have done recently so it was important that we put on a performance and on a difficult night, in difficult conditions, I thought we did exactly that," Bond told the Spurs website.

"It was great to get a win on the road like that. It was a big win and we need to keep performing well, getting results and the rest will take care of itself."

Roman stole the headlines with his late double and Kevin was delighted to see the Russian striker make his mark at the DW Stadium.

"He trained really well last week and the manager always had it in the back of his mind that he would introduce him at some stage at Wigan," he added. "He came on, made a real impact and he's no doubt given the manager plenty to think about."
