Defender gutted over Spurs sending off

Wigan defender Steve Gohouri admits he let his team-mates down following his sending off against Tottenham. Gohouri was red carded just after the hour mark during Wigan's 2-1 defeat to Spurs for two bookable offences. The Ivory Coast international feels his dismissal cost his side at least a point and he admits he was devastated to be sent off.

Gutted

"I am gutted, so devastated," Gohouri told the Wigan Evening Post. "That was the key moment in the game, because if we had kept 11 men we would have got a draw minimum and probably all three points. "It was just one of those things. I thought I could get the ball, but I let the team down. And I know that."
