Olsson gutted at Blackburn sending off

The Tottenham dressing room bore the brunt of Martin Olsson's frustration at being sent off in Blackburn's 1-0 defeat at Spurs. Olsson was given a torrid time by Spurs winger Aaron Lennon throughout the first half and was sent off just before the interval after being shown a second yellow card.

"I was at the ball, not Lennon, when I got my first yellow card," the 20 year old told TT.

"The second card, well there's nothing to say about that one, it was a really bad day at work for me.

"I can't even explain how it felt. My first thought was 'have I really been sent off', I was so disappointed, mainly at myself.

"I destroyed most things in the locker room. I kicked at everything I saw, doors, garbage cans, cardboard boxes."
