Scharner hails battling Latics
Wigan Athletic, 13:58, November 30, 2009 ,
Wigan utility man Paul Scharner has revealed Latics' stars worked overtime in order to bounce back from the Spurs mauling.
Roberto Martinez's side beat Steve Bruce's Sunderland 1-0 at the DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon to banish the memory of the 9-1 hammering at White Hart Lane six days earlier.
And Scharner, who is being linked with Everton, admitted the extra effort paid off to good effect.
He said: "It was very quiet the last week on the training pitch. Everyone was focused on doing their best.
"It was a tough week. We were in every day, we didn't have a day off, and you can see it worked.
"For me it was a good response from the whole team. We fought the whole 90 minutes."
