Two decisions were spot on - Harry

Harry Redknapp felt Tottenham deserved two of the penalties they were awarded in their 4-1 Champions League victory over FC Twente. Doubts hung over the first and third spot kicks given by referee Terje Hauge at White Hart Lane with Roman Pavlyuchenko converting two of them and Rafael van der Vaart missing one. Peter Crouch appeared to go over too easily for the first, Gareth Bale was illegally scythed down for the second while the third saw Wout Brama harshly censured for handball even though he was trying to evade Pavlyuchenko's shot. "It was exciting stuff. The first two penalties were blatant and I don't know how you couldn't give them," said Redknapp. "Crouch was pulled down, wrestled to the floor. For the second one Bale beat the fella like he did all night and was pulled down. It was a blatant penalty. "On the third the ball travelled a long way and it was a soft penalty but you see them given. There was nothing wrong with van der Vaart's goal and it was a fantastic finish from Bale at the end."
