Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has turned on former Reds star Jamie Redknapp.

Benítez has accused Redknapp, the Sky pundit and former Liverpool captain, of using his position in the media to try to benefit Tottenham Hotspur, the club managed by his father, Harry.

Last weekend, Redknapp suggested that the Liverpool manager was presiding over a team "going nowhere".

"I'm surprised that people who were close to Liverpool before are working so hard to try to help Tottenham stay in the top four," Benítez said.
