Redknapp hails character

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp praised his side's never-say-die attitude following their comeback win over Liverpool.
Spurs battled back from a goal down to beat the Reds 2-1 at White Hart Lane, as Aaron Lennon scored an injury-time winner to seal a thrilling victory.
Martin Skrtel had opened the scoring in the first-half but then netted an unfortunate own goal to make it 1-1.
Redknapp hailed the character of his side and is delighted with the way Tottenham keep battling in games.
"The lads showed great character. To come back from behind again was just amazing," he told Sky Sports.
"I've had teams in the past at times when they go one down and you might as well go home.
"With this team we come back and keep going - there's goals, we're exciting, we play fantastic, open football and we're never out of a game.
"I think we've got the ability to always create chances, that's for sure."
He added: "They (Liverpool) started well and were dangerous, it was a fantastic game.
"Liverpool played their part, they were always a threat. They had opportunities to score again, they had good chances, we became disorganised.
"But we got after them a bit better, had shots blocked, missed a penalty and eventually managed to get the goal.
"Younes Kaboul came off and obviously Rafael van der Vaart - it's difficult then, you've used two subs."
Redknapp reserved special praise for match-winner Lennon, William Gallas and midfielder Luka Modric, who played an integral part in the equaliser.
"Aaron's back, he's back fit and he's sharp again which is important. We play with two wingers and get loads of width, that's how we play," he said.
"I thought yet again today William Gallas turned in a fantastic defensive performance for us.
"Luka Modric dragged us back into the game with that fantastic run. Overall I was delighted with the performance."
