Tottenham Reaction: Bruce delight at late winner

Here is the reaction of the two managers.

Steve Bruce

There is no better time to score than the last minute, but if any team was going to get it I felt we were the ones.

We found it very difficult to break them down with (Jonathan) Woodgate, (Michael) Dawson and Ledley King in there. Halfway through I was thinking it had 0-0 written all over it.

I've just watched Figueroa to see how he has got in there and to be fair to him he's done his job exactly how we wanted him to do it.

He has stood in front of the goalkeeper to come off and he has got the header.

Harry Redknapp

If you look at the results of Tottenham over the last year you have to be concerned. Look back to the end of last season after the Carling Cup and see how many points they have got.

They had two points from eight games when I came here. How do you get two points from eight games?

They (the players] put the club in it, it is up to them to get us out of it. It looks like a certain kind of player right through (the squad].

There is plenty of flair. But we are in a relegation scrap and we need some men and some characters to get us out of it.

We've got some but not enough. You'd put your life on Jonathan Woodgate, Michael Dawson, Didier Zokora, Jamie O'Hara.

It was a poor header by the left-back to concede the corner and then we didn't defend the corner. It looked a banker draw.

I don't remember our keeper having to pull off many world class saves.
