Boss Harry Redknapp hit out at referee Howard Webb and the Tottenham boo-boys after watching his side blow a 1-0 lead to extend their winless run in the Barclays Premier League to four matches. Webb was at the centre of the two most controversial incidents of the 1-1 draw with Sunderland. The official booked David Bentley for diving in the box when the midfielder went down under a challenge from Boudewijn Zenden. He also elected only to book visiting captain Lee Cattermole for a studs-first over-the-top tackle on Luka Modric. Redknapp said of the penalty incident, which occurred when the game was still goalless: "It was a penalty, a blatant penalty, wasn't it? I just watched the replay of it. How he (Webb) can book him... He's not got anything against Tottenham or anybody else but it's how he saw it. "I've never been one for criticising referees; it's never been my game. But it was a blatant penalty." On the home fans Rednapp added: "What have they got to moan about? What they see here and what they've seen here. We couldn't have done any more; we couldn't have tried any harder."
