Harry Redknapp was disappointed as Spurs squandered a two-goal lead to draw at Everton on Monday.

Spurs appeared to be comfortably heading towards three points after Jermain Defoe and Michael Dawson had scored early in the second half, but Louis Saha and Tim Cahill netted in the last 15 minutes to salvage a point for the Toffees.

Defoe then saw his last minute penalty saved by Tim Howard, as Spurs confirmed they had thrown away a win and Redknapp was understandaby annoyed.

“There looked to be only one winner.

“It was game over as we looked to be in control and I couldn’t see any way we weren’t going to go on and win.

“We had chances to go 3-0 up and then they pulled a goal back. It was poor defending, we got sucked in.

“They came on strong and it was a different game for 10 minutes. When you get it back to 2-1, you are going to throw the kitchen sink at the opposition and that is what they did.

“Then we get a great chance to win it with a penalty with the last kick of the game.

“Robbie Keane is our penalty taker, but you’d fancy the little man (Defoe) to score with the form he is in – but it wasn’t to be.”
