Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was left dancing with delight after his team returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-1 win over Wigan.
Spurs followed up their agonising defeat to Manchester City with two poor performances against Wolves and Watford, but they were back to their best.
The Londoners romped to victory thanks to a Gareth Bale double and Luka Modric's first-half strike to put Redknapp's team just five points short of the top of the table.
For Redknapp, the win brought a smile to his face after he spent the majority of the last nine days contesting two charges of tax evasion at Southwark Crown Court - charges he denies.
The Spurs boss had his name sung throughout the game by the home support and he was delighted to see his team put on a stylish display on his first home game since the trial began.
"I've been sitting down all week. I kept dancing around like a two-year-old!" said Redknapp, who performed an impromptu jig on the touchline after his team's second and third goals.
"It was nice to get on my feet again. The fans were great - I appreciated it. I am happy.
"We're back up there again. I keep looking at the gap behind us. We're 13 points ahead of Arsenal now - it's a nice lead."
