This was a fine victory, how can a ten man win away from home not be? But more than just the slick speedy breaks, great use of width, determination to win against the odds and mercurial touch of Van der Vaart, there were a couple of moments that really stood out to me in this game.

There’s been no such thing as a comfortable win at White Hart Lane so far this season and facts like Harry being forced against Villa to play his tenth centre back pairing in twelve games help explain why. This was an end-to-end encounter and another example of what Redknapp described as ‘more like basketball’ after the fiasco at Upton Park last week....
