This week on TVNZ FC, Chris Chang is out of action, but Breakfast's Jack Tame has been roped in as a late substitution.

The boys discuss the Wellington Phoenix's return to the winner's circle, with a 1-0 win over Melbourne City putting Mark Rudan's side within a point of the A-League's top four.

Moving to the EPL, Tottenham's woes both on and off the pitch make for dire reading for Spurs fans, knocked out of the League Cup, FA Cup, and floundering in the transfer market.

Chelsea add Gonzalo Higuian in an attempt to end their dreaded number nine curse.

And what is it about former players trying their hand at management? 

TVNZ FC is also available as a podcast on iTunes, Soundcloud and Spotify.
