Jermaine Jenas hailed William Gallas' captaincy credentials after the defender led Tottenham to their first victory at Arsenal for 17 years. Manager Harry Redknapp looks set to retain Gallas as skipper for the foreseeable future after his controversial decision to hand the 33-year-old the armband was vindicated in Saturday's 3-2 win. Midfielder Jenas said: "Absolutely brilliant he was. From start to finish, he was fantastic for us and I was so pleased for him. "The pressure was on him, everyone was watching him and he got the armband and led by example. "He is fantastic. He led by example and he was a voice in my ear, especially in that second half when the team needed me to sit a little bit more and graft in front of them and try and get around Cesc (Fabregas). "He is a laugh as well. He has come to Spurs and wants to work and win games and he has given us that experience that we probably needed."
