Redknapp hails perfect Tottenham performance at Hearts

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp feels they produced the perfect performance for victory at Hearts.

Goals from Rafael van der Vaart, Jermain Defoe and Jake Livermore inside the opening half hour of the play-off first leg were followed up by second-half strikes from Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon in a comprehensive success.

Redknapp said: "We started off so well, we moved the ball about fantastic and it was difficult for them to stay with us.

"The movement off the ball, the passing was absolutely top class and that's how I like to see us play.

"That's how we try to play and that's how I want them to play and first half it couldn't have gone better."
