Harry Redknapp was absolutely delighted with Tottenham's win at Manchester City which secured Champions League football for Spurs next season. Peter Crouch's 82nd minute header gave Spurs a 1-0 win at Eastlands on Wednesday night to secure fourth spot and at least a place in the qualifying rounds of The Champions League. " It was great to come here and win. I took a big gamble tonight and played an attacking team. We went for it," the Spurs boss said after the game. "People will think I'm mad coming away from home like this because all the top teams only play with one up front now. "I'm very pleased - it's great for the club, a good achievement and we have played great football this year. "King and Dawson - my God they were good, Crouchie led the line unbelievably, it was a great performance from him, and the best we have seen from Defoe for a while. "I just wanted to make sure we got there and finished fourth, the chairman has just said to me 'who have Arsenal got on Sunday' but I doubt very much whether that will happen. "I'm just very happy to finish fourth, that's where we wanted to be. "It was important someone got in from outside the big four I could only see Man City breaking in. "I thought it was going to be really tough - I could only see us finishing in the top seven and getting a European place. "That says an awful lot for us."
