Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp pleased with Kyle Walker’s winner against Arsenal
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kyle-Walker-c21566, the Tottenham Hotspur full-back who scored the winner against Arsenal on Sunday in the north London derby at White Hart Lane, revealed he was ecstatic after his shot ended in the back of the net. The 21-year-old’s strike awarded his another win and much needed three points which see them climb at sixth place on the Premier League table.
Walker said in an interview after the match:
“It doesn't get much better than that. I just picked the ball up and hit it.
I had one of them against Fulham for Aston Villa so I thought why not take a chance.”
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 were a tough side and his team had done well to secure a win over them.
He continued:
“Arsenal are a good team and we found it difficult at times but we dug deep and got the result that we wanted.”
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp was pleased with his side’s win in the first north London derby of the new campaign and was especially pleased with Walker. He revealed the player’s excellent start to the season was an indication of his continued involvement in the first team in the upcoming fixtures. Walker returns to White Hart Lane after spending time on loan with sides like Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 and Aston Villa.
Redknapp revealed:
“He's a great attacking full-back and he loves to get forward.
It was a good strike from Kyle. He's done ever so well and he's had a good start to the season.”
The Spurs boss felt his tactics were more to credit for his side’s win than Arsenal’s poor form and increasing injuries. He revealed the highly attacking side he had put forward had been effective in dealing with the Gunners’ defence. Rafael van der Vaart scored the opening goal for Tottenham Hotspur, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065 scoring the equaliser only for it to be cancelled by Walker’s winner.
Redknapp said:
“They got off to a better start in the second half but we upped it and got better and stronger and in the second half we had all the chances.”
