Redknapp: A great defeat
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was relieved to come away with a 3-2 defeat in their Champions League play-off round first leg at Young Boys after a dreadful first half-hour.
Sebastien Bassong and Roman Pavyluchenko spared Tottenham's blushes as they came from 3-0 down to keep their Champions League dream alive
Goals from Senad Lulic, Henri Bienvenu and Xavier Hochstrasser did the damage but Bassong scored just before half-time and Pavyluchenko struck late on to ensure Redknapp's men will remain favourites ahead of next Wednesday's second leg.
Redknapp told Sky Sports 2: "That was a great defeat in the end, if there is such a thing as a great defeat. At 3-0 we were out of it. We were in desperate trouble, so full credit to the lads, we've come back.
"Now we need to win at home and it gives us a great chance."
