Tottenham boss Redknapp tribute to Leeds after FA Cup win

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp paid tribute to Leeds United after their FA Cup win at Elland Road last night.

Jermain Defoe's third treble of the season clinched the visitors a 3-1 win and a date at Bolton in the fifth round on the weekend of February 13-14.

"These are difficult games," Redknapp said. "I've won and lost these games when you're fancied to win.

"We came to Elland Road - probably the first time for some of my players. The atmosphere the fans created was just incredible.

"This is a massive football club. It's really a Premier League club and it needs to get back where it belongs.

"Leeds are a good side and they'll certainly go up this year and I can see them being back in the Premier League in the next few years."
