David Bentley
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has praised David Bentley for his performance in the 3-1 FA Cup fourth round replay win at Leeds last night.
Whilst Spurs striker Jermain Defoe took the plaudits for his hat-trick, Bentley provided two assists and impressed at Elland Road.
Spurs boss Redknapp said after the game: "When his attitude is right we have a good player. He showed that tonight. Bentley has come back in and played well. He is outstanding. When Aaron Lennon is fit, it is a nice problem. You need that competition."
Benley also commented after the win: "I want to play every game and I won’t take it for granted... My time at Tottenham has been hard, but I have enjoyed the last few games. So few games in a year has been difficult. I just want to get back playing and stay there."
Aaron Lennon is expected to be out with a groin injury for at least another fortnight, David Bentley should now hold his place on the right side of midfield for Spurs.
The 25-year-old winger has played five games for Tottenham in the Premier League this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
