Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has explained why he hooked Didier Zokora at halftime of yesterday's 2-1 win at Aston Villa.
He explained: "I played Didier against (Cristiano) Ronaldo when we played United earlier in the season at White Hart Lane and he was fantastic, I played him right-back against Stewart Downing as well, so we're talking about two of the best left wingers around and he's been brilliant.
"I thought he could do that job again but he found it hard going. He over-covered, got too close to the centre-halves and there was always space.
"Villa got the ball out to Ashley Young, he kept running and when he does that you've no chance.
"Charlie (Vedran Corluka) came on, got close to him, stopped him getting the ball and did a superb job. We pushed on from there."
