Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has paid tribute to opposite number Martin O'Neill ahead of his side's trip to Sunderland this afternoon.
The Black Cats have lost just one league game at the Stadium of Light since O'Neill took charge of the club in December. However, with the race for Champions League football next season still on, Redknapp insists that his side will be looking for all three points.
"It will be a difficult game but we have to keep going," he said.
"We can't afford to drop points because Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle are all right there. It will be a dog fight until the end so we have to go up there and make sure we get the right result.
"I was impressed with [Sunderland] when Steve Bruce was there. Things didn't turn out for him in the end and Martin [O'Neill] has come in and done a great job there."
Tottenham are currently in fourth place in the Premier League.
