Redknapp always confident Spurs would over run Wolves

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says he never lost faith as his team fought back to beat Wolves 3-1.

Rafael van der Vaart cancelled out Steven Fletcher's opener from the penalty spot before substitutes Roman Pavyluchenko and Alan Hutton sealed a 3-1 victory.

Redknapp said: "I wasn't at all disappointed with how we played. I was disappointed to be 1-0 down, obviously.

"But I couldn't criticise the players for the way we tried to play, the way we moved the ball around. I thought we did as well as we could and made opportunities. We just needed to stick one away.

"And when the chances came, it was important we tried to finish them."

He added: "We stuck at it and that was good. The subs all came on and played their part. Alan Hutton had a great second half.

"We haven't really seen Pav and then he scores.

"It was a great result for us."

Redknapp denied fearing the match was becoming Wigan all over again but admitted: "There was a point in the game when I thought we wouldn't win the game.

"I'd be a liar sitting here saying I always knew we were going to come back and win it."
