Jermain Defoe scored five as Spurs put Roberto Martinez's sorry visitors to the sword, and Redknapp singled the England striker out for his clinical finishing.
"The whole team, everybody worked and played well and for Jermain to go and get five goals was a real outstanding performance," he said.

"He's looked like that yesterday in training, the day before in training, he looks so sharp that I just thought if he can carry that into the game he's going to be a real handful today for their back four.
"All the strikers have been in great form. Robbie's (Keane) had a four this year, now Jermain's had five, Crouchy's (Peter) had a three. So it's nice to have your strikers all scoring goals.
"Second half we took some great goals. We started the game well, scored early on, Peter Crouch scored and I felt we started really bright.
"You don't get too many nines in the Premier League. I feel genuinely, I have got so much time and respect for their manager, I think he really is a fantastic young manager.
"The work he did at Swansea and what he's carried on at Wigan, and the way he gets his teams to play - I think he's going right to the top.
"It's a bad day for him but he'll come back from that even stronger, he'll learn a lot about his team and everything today and I'm sure next week they'll take it out on somebody else."
