Bentley Earns The Plaudits

Last updated : 28 October 2009 By Sam
Because of the foot injury sustained by Aaron Lennon in the home defeat to Stoke City at the weekend, Bentley was recalled to the Spurs starting XI and put in an eye-catching performance in the 2-0 win at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night.

"He's got to play like that and put that effort in," Redknapp said after the match.

"Aaron has played so well, he's not had the opportunity.

"His attitude was not as good in training as it could be and I spoke to him about that. He is determined to put that right. Maybe he didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"But he's a decent boy and was very good against Everton, I was really pleased.

"We all saw him as a kid at Arsenal and when he went on loan from there. When he plays like that he's a good player."
