WIGAN, England: Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp warned unsettled striker Roman Pavlyuchenko that his two-goal blast in his side's 3-0 win at Wigan will mean nothing unless he gets down to some hard work.
Pavlyuchenko had attacked Redknapp in the Russian media last week in a rant which included claims his boss treated him as joke and had gone back on his promise to play him more often.
But the Russian international, who had looked set to return to his homeland with Lokomotiv Moscow last month, was given a chance to do his talking on the pitch on Sunday when Redknapp sent him on as a late substitute and he responded with his first league goals of the season.
