Harry Redknapp admits that he needs to find a Tottenham player who can cope with the pressure of taking penalties.

Tom Huddlestone became the latest player to miss from the spot on Sunday against Bolton, after taking over from Jermain Defoe.

“I need to find someone who can handle the pressure of putting it away from the spot,” he said in The Sun.

“If we’d scored I think it would have been game over.

“But we have a habit of missing penalties at the moment and it’s becoming a bit disturbing.”

“Bolton were terrific in the first half and we were poor. We didn’t get out of the blocks,” he said.

“They were up and at us and we couldn’t cope with it. They were knocking balls forward, winning them and backing up the play.

“We didn’t get the chance to play how we like to play, they didn’t allow us to.

“At half-time we sorted a few things out and we were much, much the better team in the second half and deserved to win the game.”
