Pav fires timely reminder to Redknapp

ROMAN PAVLYUCHENKO gave Harry Redknapp a timely reminder of his talents by firing in a brilliant 20-yard free-kick to hand Tottenham an important Europa League group stage win over Rubin Kazan at White Hart Lane last night.

Pavlyuchenko blasted home an early contender for goal of the season with a powerful strike that flew in off the bar, just 24 hours after Redknapp admitted he would consider selling the striker in the January transfer window.

Tottenham were second best for most of the second half, but they held on to register the win that moved them two points clear at the top of Group A.
