Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City both make it two wins from two matches in the Europa League Tottenham have won their second Europa League group fixture from as many starts with a 2-0 victory over Anzhi Makhachkala. TOTTENHAM's encouraging start to the season continued unchecked as Andre Villas-Boas' post-Gareth Bale era side made it two out of two in the Europa League on Friday morning (EST). Spurs shrugged off hostile weather conditions in Russia to deny Anzhi Makhachkala 2-0 and tighten their grip on Group K, going four points clear. Jermain Defoe celebrated his call-up to the England squad earlier in the day for this month's final batch of World Cup qualifiers with the first goal. Set up by Lewis Holtby he struck from inside the box after the half hour mark, rifling the ball into the roof of the net. That left the striker one goal shy of Martin Chivers' European club record tally of 24. Tottenham's Jermain Defoe and Nacer Chadli both scored against Anzhi. Nacer Chadli doubled up five minutes later for his second goal since arriving from FC Twente. Again Holtby was involved, playing the ball out to Kyle Walker, with the right-back slipping the ball across to Chadli to sweep home. Villa-Boas, who had fielded a nearly all-fresh line-up from the side that drew 1-1 with Chelsea last weekend and with West Brom looming on Sunday, looked more than satisfied with his 'B' side's showing as did the 150 or so fans who had made the trip from north London. The Portuguese boss said: "In the second half we lost control of possession a little. However defensively we were sound and managed to take a deserved win. A win is what we wanted and gives us the opportunity in the next games against Sheriff to ensure qualification. Anzhi, who have sold almost all of their stars after billionaire owner Suleiman Kerimov decided to restructure the club and drastically shrink their budget, are without a win in any competition this campaign. IN Wales, Swansea made it two wins in two Group A games with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over St Gallen Wayne Routledge netted his third goal of the season in the 52nd minute to settle the tie at the Liberty Stadium. But St Gallen's Goran Karanovic had a first-half penalty saved by Gerhard Tremmel after Dwight Tiendalli had been penalised for handball. "No game is going to be easy and they battled hard, and in the end it was a gritty win," said Routledge. The performance shows that we have massive character but in the dressing room we know that we can knuckle down and play if we have to. Wigan marked their first ever home match in Europe with a 3-1 win over Maribor of Slovenia. Nick Powell gave the FA Cup winners the lead with Ben Watson adding a second for a 1-0 half-time lead. Tavares pulled one back after the break before Powell fired in his second in stoppage time.
