Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp was pleased to see his side ease through to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 3-1 home win over Wigan Athletic.
Two goals from Roman Pavlyuchenko and one from Luka Modric booked Spurs' place in round four, despite Redknapp admitting that the competition was not his main priority.
He told the club's official website: "It was a good result in the end. It was great to get the win and get through to the next round. I thought we did well.
"We were comfortable and at 2-0 it looked game over. When it gets to 2-1 in any game there is always a bit of pressure, but I was hoping we'd be okay.
"The FA Cup is not the main priority at the moment, the league and the Carling Cup are key for us, but we wanted to win.
"No-one comes here in front of 30,000-plus supporters who love their team and thinks 'it doesn't matter if we win or lose'. We want to win every game."
