Watch Jamie Redknapp's analysis of the foul which resulted in a red card for Southampton's Nathan Redmond

Jamie Redknapp thinks Southampton's Nathan Redmond was harshly sent off against Tottenham - watch him analyse the incident.

Dele Alli struck twice as Spurs battled from a goal down to beat 10-man Saints 4-1 on Wednesday night and claim their first away victory since September.

With the game at 2-1, referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot after Redmond was adjudged to have fouled Alli, who had managed to send a shot wide while going to ground.

Dean went on to show Redmond a red card, but it was a decision Redknapp disagreed with. 

"No, it wasn't a penalty," Redknapp said.

"It's an extremely difficult one as you've got Redmond and Alli sprinting towards the ball. They're two very fast players. Alli does very well as he steps across Redmond, who grabs his arm.

"He pulls him back a little bit then stumbles into him. I don't see it as a penalty. It's harsh. The contact is outside the box, although it is a difficult one. I think Mike Dean could have been more lenient. It's extremely harsh."
