Former midfielder Jamie Redknapp has claimed Tottenham will feel relieved at going through in the Carabao Cup.AdvertisementAdvertisementSpeaking on , Redknapp stated: “They were so poor, going nowhere fast until the goals.
“Up until then, you look at what Mark Robins did (scoring for Man United), we might look back at this goal as something similar and that's kept them in it.
