Redknapp hails 'old-fashioned' Davies
Harry Redknapp has spoken of his grudging admiration for Bolton striker Kevin Davies. [LNB] The club captain scored his third goal of the season in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham at the Reebok Stadium. It was just reward for the 32-year-old after another typically tenacious and industrious performance.[LNB] Tottenham boss Redknapp said: "Kevin Davies is always a threat. He messes people around. He is so difficult to play against. He is like an old-fashioned centre forward to my mind." [LNB] Bolton manager Gary Megson said: "If you play the kind of football Kevin thrives on, he is a huge threat."[LNB] Bolton got off to a perfect start with Ricardo Gardner opening the scoring in the third minute after Lee Chung-Yong's effort had been parried. [LNB] It looked bleak for Tottenham given they have never won a league match at the ground in nine attempts but they regrouped and equalised through Niko Kranjcar. [LNB] Bolton responded through Davies's header at the back post with Lee again involved in the build up, only for Vedran Corluka to secure a point for the visitors. [LNB] Peter Crouch scorned a glorious chance in front of goal a minute before Corluka's equaliser and Redknapp said: "He should have scored but the keeper has performed a miracle. [LNB] "To come back twice was fine. Obviously you want to pick three points up but when we were 2-1 down I would certainly have taken a point.[LNB] "We deserved a draw. They started brightly while we were slow getting going. But we came back strongly."
