Spurs buoyed by the blood-letting

WHAT a difference a day makes. Beleaguered, bedraggled and bereft of confidence on Saturday night, Tottenham were revitalised yesterday, handing Harry Redknapp a dream start to his reign.

Roman Pavlyuchenko and Darren Bent were on target in either half as Bolton finished with 10 men after Gavin McCann was dismissed for two bookings.

Redknapp took his place alongside reserve team coach Clive Allen in the dug-out for the first time and set about stamping his mark.
