Jermain Defoe and Jamie Redknapp provide fresh Tottenham verdict amid Champions League hopes

Tottenham's Champions League hopes suffered a knock after Arsenal beat Man United, before Spurs' goalless draw against Brentford. However, Antonio Conte's side are still just two points behind their north London rivals with five games to go.

What was made even worse than dropping two points at the Brentford Community Stadium, was the poor performance from the Spurs side.
