Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez was beaming after victory at Tottenham.
Arouna Kone made life difficult for Steven Caulker and William Gallas throughout.
"Many people watching will say Spurs had a bad day, but I wouldn't agree with that at all," said Martinez.
"We had to work very hard today. We were brave, we stopped Spurs from playing and we played high up.
"That opened up space for players like Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon but the concentration and partnerships all over the park helped us to stop Spurs from having a say on the ball."
