Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Tottenham 4 - 2 Liverpool : Holders destroy Liverpool's second string
Harry Redknapp's magic touch continued with a 4-2 victory over Liverpool at White Hart Lane to secure Tottenham a place in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup.
As if to illustrate the manager's impact since taking charge 18 days ago, it was two players on the fringes during Redknapp's revolution who turned the tie with three goals in six minutes just before the break against Rafael Benitez's reserves.
Roman Pavlyuchenko, who netted the late winner when Liverpool were beaten by Spurs in the Premier League, opened the scoring with a crisp finish before Fraizer Campbell added his first two for the club since his loan from Manchester United.
Damien Plessis and Sami Hyypia pulled goals back between Pavlyuchenko's second, stirring memories of their second-half Istanbul comeback in the 2005 Champions League final - but Spurs held on to stay in the competition they won in February under Juande Ramos.
It is now five wins and a draw since the new manager was appointed.
