Tottenham's hopes of finishing in the top four hang in the balance after a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Norwich on Monday.

Anthony Pilkington gave the courageous visitors the lead after 13 minutes, before Jermain Defoe equalised with a deft chip over John Ruddy just after the half hour mark.

However, an Elliott Bennett strike in the second half gave the Canaries victory at White Hart Lane, meaning that Spurs stay two points behind Arsenal in the standings.

Harry Redknapp admitted that it was a poor result for his team, and prioritised finishing in the top four rather than winning back third place.

"We have not been in bad form the last few weeks, but today was a setback. We had a bad day," he confessed to Sky Sports.

"It is all still to play for though.

"It is going to be close, but there are still five games to go. It is the team who wants it most.

"We would settle for finishing fourth, Champions League football is the key.

"It would be lovely to finish above Arsenal, but that is going to be tough now.

"It is still all to play for - Chelsea have to play Arsenal, Newcastle have to play Chelsea, Chelsea have to play Liverpool away, so who knows?" he stated.
