Spurs boss warns his in-form players they cannot afford to relax
Harry Redknapp has warned Tottenham they will need to continue their blistering form if they are to realise their UEFA Champions League ambitions.
Spurs climbed to third in the Premier League table with Monday night's 2-0 home victory over Aston Villa, their eighth victory from their last nine top-flight games.
The White Hart Lane club opened their season with back-to-back defeats at the hands of Manchester United and Manchester City, but since then the only points they have dropped came in a 2-2 draw with Newcastle last month.
But manager Redknapp does not want his players to rest on their laurels and believes that to achieve their aim of a top-four finish they must maintain their current level of consistency.
Tight
"When you look at the table it just shows you how tight it is going to be at the top," he said.
"There is still nothing between us, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United and Man City - although City have pulled away a little bit.
"It has been a fantastic run of results for us since the start of September.
"In my opinion, any side with top-four aspirations needs to try to maintain that kind of form for the majority of the season - as much as maybe two points a game over the course of the campaign."
