Harry praises in-form Gomes

07 Mar 2010 - 12:25:49

After watching his side draw their FA Cup sixth round clash at Fulham 0-0, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp hailed Heurelho Gomes for keeping yet another clean sheet.

The Brazilian, who endured an error-strewn first few months at White Hart Lane last season, has developed in to one of the Premier League's most consistent goalkeepers and denied Bobby Zamora, Damien Duff, Brede Hangeland and Zoltan Gera at Craven Cottage.

"Gomes looks different to the goalkeeper who came here in 2008 when I first arrived," said Redknapp.

"He had a terrible time here then but he's a different lad now, full of confidence, who looks what he is - a top keeper. He had a bad day here in 2008 but it didn't affect him.

"We kept possession well, though we didn't create enough chances. Of course we'll be the happier side. Before we came here we would have taken the draw. This is a difficult place to come.

"Fulham are a difficult team to beat - they've just knocked holders Shakhtar Donetsk out of the Europa League. That tells you all you need to know about them.

"They're well managed and coached and are not easy to play against. A replay gives us a good chance at home and we're still bang in there.

"At home we've got a big chance but I bet Shakhtar thought they were favourites for the second leg of that Europa League tie. It didn't work out that way, though. Fulham's win was one of the results of the season."
