Harry Redknapp described Spurs' Carling Cup win at Preston as 'terrific'.

A hat-trick from Peter Crouch and a goal each from Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane secured a 5-1 third round victory at Deepdale on Wednesday evening.

"It was a terrific result for us, I though this was a very tough draw for us and people were tipping this as a possible upset," Redknapp told Sky Sports after the game.

"It was a difficult match but we put it to bed.

"To score five goals away from home is a terrific performance."
