Harry Redknapp is now seeing the team spirit at Tottenham he has been desperately trying to introduce.

Redknapp has complained in the past that Spurs have lacked the unity of Manchester United.

But after the victory over Arsenal, the London Evening Standard revealed the new spirit sweeping through White Hart Lane.

The players not involved in Spurs' home games usually duck out of White Hart Lane well before the final whistle, the prospect of dodging the post-match traffic on Seven Sisters Road enough to send them scurrying for their 4x4s at about the 75-minute mark.

But on Wednesday night, there were no thoughts of taking an early dart, as the injured Vedran Corluka, Niko Kranjcar, Aaron Lennon and Carlo Cudicini, along with Wilson Palacios, encouraged their team-mates until the final whistle.
