Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp struggled to keep in his emotions over Mario Balotelli after the Manchester City striker's alleged kick at Scott Parker yesterday.

That Balotelli scored the injury-time penalty to seal a dramatic 3-2 win for the hosts only made matters worse.

"He is not my problem. Let someone else have the problem," said Redknapp.

"He is a good player, of course he is. We all know he is a talent.

"But lovable what?

"I have my opinions but it is up to their manager.

"It is not something I understand, why he should go and backheel someone in the head when he is on the floor?

"What happens now doesn't interest me. What is done is done. But I am sure they (the FA) will have a look at it. They must do mustn't they."
