Modric slams Cattermole tackle

TOTTENHAM playmaker Luka Modric has accused Lee Cattermole of putting his career in jeopardy following the Sunderland captain’s latest controversial challenge.

Modric claims Cattermole’s studs-first tackle in last night’s 1-1 Barclays Premier League draw at White Hart Lane could easily have broken his leg.

Midfielder Cattermole was shown a yellow card for the 69th-minute incident, which sparked a brief melee between opposing players. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp was adamant Cattermole should have been sent off — for the third time this season — while opposite number Steve Bruce was convinced the challenge was fair.
