Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has blasted AC Milan midfielder Mathieu Flamini for his tackle on Vedran Corluka amd said the decision to only give him the yellow card was an absolute disgrace.
Tottenham Hotspur notched a famous victory over AC Milan in the Champions League second round first leg match at the San Siro yesterday. Peter Crouch scored the winner n the 78th minute after some fantastic work by Aaron Lennon.
However, the match was marred by some unwanted incidents and one of them was the tackle by Flamini on Corluka. Flamini went in hard with two foot on Corluka that caused the Croatian defender to leave the pitch and was later seen on crutches. Surprisingly, Flamini was only shown a red card for his dangerous tackle.
''That is a red card all day. How has he not got a red card for that?'' he said after the game.
''It's an absolute disgrace, they [UEFA] should look at that, surely, and do something about it. It's a dangerous, dangerous tackle.
''He was two or three feet off the floor with two feet. It was a leg-breaking tackle.
''He [Corluka] will have an x-ray tomorrow but I don't think he has broken it but he could have done easily.''
Meanwhile, Tottenham star man Peter Crouch hailed a fantastic performance by his team after snatching a famous victory.
''It was a great game of football; I thought we deserved the win in the end. I thought we limited them to not many chances and I think we were the better side. It's a fantastic achievement,'' Crouch said.
''I just had to keep up with Azza (Lennon) at the end!''
Lennon added: ''When I beat the first defender and saw Crouchy was free I was always going to put it across to him.''
