Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was not surprised by Stevenage after their 0-0 draw at Broadhall Way.

The 64-year-old led Bournemouth to victory over Manchester United nearly 30 years ago and is experienced in the FA Cup.

“I don’t know about relief. It was what I expected it to be and it was no different,” Redknapp told ITV.

“I’ve managed teams in the lower division and knocked top-flight sides out and vice versa.”

The Tottenham boss was full of praise for battling Stevenage.

“They worked their socks off and the pitch made it difficult to play football,” Redknapp added.

“They worked hard and made it difficult.

“They’re not easy games and we weren’t able to play as we’d have liked to.

“I’ve seen them over the years and could name you 50 games where it happens.

“Today was a classic example and it wasn’t a game to play football.

“We’re still in the cup and we’re at home. It gives us a big chance.

“They’re on a great run. Gary has done a great job there.”
