Redknapp: It's important for Tottenham not to be deflated by Chelsea defeat

Jamie Redknapp has urged Tottenham not to be rocked by the Capital One Cup loss to Chelsea.

The north London club were beaten by the Premier League leaders 2-0 in the Wembley final on Sunday after a decent performance and former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp hopes they can use it as motivation to produce a big finish to the league campaign with their talented young players.

"It's important they keep going as they haven't won in their last five since beating Arsenal," he said on Sky Sports.

"That was a brilliant moment with fans thinking we're going to get to the top four and have a chance of beating Chelsea in the cup.

"It's deflating for any young player but then you look at what they have done in the last five or six months, bringing in the likes of (Ryan) Mason, (Nabil) Bentaleb and (Harry) Kane."
