Tottenham Hotspur's manager, Harry Redknapp was all praise for Alan Pardew’s Newcastle United, as the Magpies continued their remarkable Premier League run with a 3-0 hammering of Stoke City.
The win against the Potters helped them break into the top four, and also stretched their winning streak in the league to six matches. At one stage, they were 11 points behind the Spurs in the table, and now lead the North London side by three points, with
just four more games to play.
The Magpies outstanding run has been linked by many, to the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884 and the sublime form of Papiss Cisse. The Spurs boss acknowledged the impact that both the players had made at the Sports Direct Arena. He also heaped praise on the Newcastle
manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 with the Tyneside team.
"What Alan has done there is fantastic, it's a miracle really. To get them in the position they're in has been a great achievement,” Redknapp said.
“They can relax and play. No-one expected them to be anywhere near where they are. You have to give them credit for what they have done.”
Despite the fact that the Magpies have got challenging fixtures against Manchester City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in their run-in to the season, the 65-year old felt that Pardew’s side were now the favourites to finish in the top four.
"They do look good at the moment. They have three fantastic forwards and they are playing very well.” He added.
Meanwhile, the Newcastle midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423 refused to get carried away by the possible prospects of a Champions League place next season, and felt that the race for a top-four finish was far from over. He claimed that his team had set their sight on
the next game against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium, and they will approach their remaining fixtures one game at a time.
“The next thing is to be focused on the Wigan match. That's the most important thing. After, we can see what happens, but we have to think match by match.”
