Redknapp baffled by Spurs defeat

28 August 2010 20:00
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp's worst fears were realised against Wigan as his side suffered what appeared a hangover from their historic progress to the Champions League group stage. Hugo Rodallega's late strike gave the Latics a surprise 1-0 win at White Hart Lane, but Redknapp insisted Wednesday night's exertions were no excuse, He said: "Why should it be? You should come here today full of confidence after winning 4-0 in a Champions League game. "You should come here today and feel fantastic about yourself, not have a hangover or feel lethargic. "You should go out there today knowing the crowd love you and the way you played on the Wednesday and last Saturday and come here and really play today."
