Redknapp praises matchwinner Van der Vaart

Rafael Van der Vaart - Tottenham news

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was full of praise for Rafael Van der Vaart after the Dutchman’s two goals secured a 2-1 victory against Aston Villa.

Redknapp said: “He’s started well, he’s going great. He’s always looking to get on the ball and he has that knack of scoring goals.

“I felt, first half, we were open, too open, with two up and him floating around where he wanted to play.

“Second half, we changed it and I stuck him in behind one striker.”

Redknapp added: “He’s a good footballer and they always like a good footballer.”
