Redknapp ATTACKS Palace skipper Jedinak over stray elbow

Former Tottenham star Jamie Redknapp has slammed Crystal Palace skipper Mile Jedinak after their victory at West Ham United.

Palace were 3-0 up when Jedinak caught Diafra Sakho in the face with his elbow, in an incident that went unpunished by referee Mike Dean.

"It's completely wrong what he's done there," former Liverpool and England midfielder Redknapp said after the game on Sky Sports 1. "That is not a natural movement of your elbow and when you do that into someone's face it's not nice because you will break someone's jaw.

"I'm a big fan of his [Jedinak]. I love the way he plays, he's got tremendous desire, he's their manager on the pitch. But you can't go around brandishing your elbows like that on people's heads. It's a dangerous move."
