Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that he never felt comfortable during his side's 5-2 loss to rivals Arsenal this afternoon.

Spurs led the North London derby 2-0 at one stage, but ended up slumping to a heavy defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

"We went 2-0 up but even then I couldn't say I felt over-comfortable. They were playing through us and were causing problems. I just wanted to get to half time and I thought we would be okay," said Redknapp.

"In the second half we changed it and thickened up in midfield but we still didn't defend well all over the park. We let people run and that's not like us.

"We have not been a team conceding goals like we did today."

Spurs remain third in the Premier League table.
