Harry says ref got it ‘badly wrong’

TOTTENHAM manager Harry Redknapp offered a scathing assessment of referee Chris Foy’s display after watching his team lose ground in the Premier League title race.

Stoke’s 2-1 success, secured thanks to a Matthew Etherington brace, ended a sequence of 10 wins and a draw from their previous 11 top flight matches for Redknapp’s team. However, the Spurs manager felt that unbeaten sequence could have been continued but for Foy.

Although the Merseyside official handed them a penalty, converted by Emmanuel Adebayor, for a foul on Luka Modric, he twice missed handballs on the line by Ryan Shawcross and Dean Whitehead, as well as ruling out a legitimate Adebayor goal despite the on-loan striker being clearly played onside by Marc Wilson.
