Redknapp not expecting to catch Chelsea
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp saw his side keep in sight of a Champions League place but believes they have little chance of overtaking Chelsea.
A goal from Peter Crouch in the fourth minute was enough to secure a 1-0 victory against Blackburn at Ewood Park. He rose above Chris Samba to get on the end of a Rafael van der Vaart's cross and head into the corner.
The result was a boost for Redknapp given he had lost two players in Luka Modric and Steven Pienaar 24 hours before the game.
However he feels Chelsea, who are three points ahead of his side, will kick on now they have secured the services of Fernando Torres.
Redknapp said: "I picked the team [on Monday morning] and I lost two of them. Luka had a pain in his stomach and needed an appendix operation. As for Pienaar..the other South African (Bongani Khumalo) thought his head was the ball and knocked him unconscious in training. We had to change it again. We were an attacking team, an open team."
He added: "For us to finish above them [Chelsea] would be a real feat. They have spent about £70million in the transfer market. We have just got to keep going and it would be a fantastic achievement. I would not write Chelsea off from winning the championship. They could go on a run and be a big danger to everyone."
