Villas-Boas rues draw

the final minute at the DW Stadium on Saturday. Fifth placed Tottenham now have just four matches left to secure a place in the top four and a return to the Champions League.

They reached the quarter-finals of the competition two seasons ago and have matches against Southampton, Chelsea, Stoke and Sunderland to attempt to overhaul Arsenal and Chelsea to secure a return to Europe’s top competition.

“Now it depends on results of our opponents whether we can be in control of our destiny or not,” Villas-Boas said.
“Normally a point away from home in the Premier League is important but this is difficult for both teams. It depends on other results whether it’s two points dropped.

“A win was important for both teams too and we really had a go at each other. We deserved a little bit better.” Tottenham secured an early lead when Wigan wasted several opportunities to clear before a Joel Robles clearance flew in off Gareth Bale.

But Boyce equalised with a header before Callum McManaman scored his first Premier League goal with a shot from just outside the area to put Wigan ahead.
However, in the final minute a Tom Huddlestone free-kick flew in off Boyce to earn Spurs a point.

“We did ever so well in the first half and had control of the game, but we couldn’t hold on to the lead,” Villas-Boas added. — AFP.
