Redknapp attacks match winning Mario Balotelli

Redknapp attacks match winning Mario Balotelli

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was left fuming last night as he saw his side battle back from 2-0 to draw, only to see Mario Balotelli wrap up the three points for Manchester City from the penalty spot. But the Spurs manager complained that the Italian should have been sent off earlier for an earlier altercation with Scott Parker.

  • Man City looked to have the game wrapped up as they marched to a 2-0 lead over Spurs, but two goals in quick succession brought Tottenham back into the match. Just as  it looked like Tottenham would take home a share of the spoils, Balotelli scored from the penalty spot after being brought down by Ledley King.



    But Redknapp launched a scathing attack on the Italian striker, who he felt should have been sent off for kicking Spurs' midfielder Scott Parker in the face.



    "It looked like a penalty, I've not seen a replay - but the boy who scored the penalty shouldn't have been on the pitch. He kicked Scott Parker in the head. He does it a lot, he backheeled him in the face and cut his head. No-one can make excuses that he didn't do it, anyone can see he did do it," Redknapp said.
