Rock solid: Redknapp praises his defence as Spurs target Europa spot

Harry Redknapp has hailed Tottenham's watertight defence as the key behind their surge up the Barclays Premier League table. Rock bottom with just two points from their first eight games when Redknapp accepted the challenge of reviving their fortunes, Spurs are now ninth, just a point off a place in next season's Europa League. And Redknapp believes Tottenham's remarkable resurgence is based on a solid defence. 'We've got everyone working hard and closing down all over the pitch and we've got out rewards,' said Redknapp.
