Tottenham boss Redknapp insists Wolves defeat no major setback

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp insists defeat at home to Wolves is no setback to their top four hopes.

Spurs were undone by Wolves at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Redknapp admitted: "That result didn't show how difficult it is to be in the top four. No, not really no, it just shows you how difficult it is to win football matches.

"Chelsea couldn't beat Everton on Saturday, could they? They'll finish in the top four, at least I think they will.

"It's not easy to win any football match, no one's got a divine right to beat anybody. There are shock results every week in football, look at the Saturday scores.

"Portsmouth go to Sunderland and equalise in the last minute. Chelsea have lost at Wigan, Arsenal lose, Liverpool have lost to teams who they think they should beat - that's football, what can you do.

"Wenger at Arsenal has said it is the most open race for Champions League places and without a doubt, I'd agree. Man City, Villa are bang in there, it's going to be tight. Arsenal, Liverpool obviously would be the two favourites. Arsenal can win the championship, so can Liverpool. People get carried away over one result or performance.

"Chelsea beat Arsenal 3-0 and the Championship belongs to Chelsea, it's all over, forget it, it's finished. Is it?"
