espnstar.com
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp paid tribute to David Bentley after his deflected free kick free-kick sealed Spurs' 2-0 victory.

It was a rare golden moment for Bentley, who wants to leave Spurs and was a surprise choice on the teamsheet after Niko Kranjcar fell ill.

"David did well," said Redknapp. "Kranjcar was sick so I gave him an opportunity and he took it well. If he plays well he has a chance.




"When he plays like that he has every chance, if he shows a good attitude and comes to work and plays hard.

"When you're not in the team you're disappointed but he showed a great attitude."

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson added: "We were unfortunate with the second goal. I would have been less disappointed if they scored when they started well in the first 20 minutes.

"I'm still proud of the performance. It was a brave performance and hard-working with the injuries we have. Spurs knew they were in a game but we didn't create enough so cannot complain about the result."
