Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp urged Spurs to win their Champions League qualifying group after watching them clinch qualification to the last 16 with a 3-0 win over Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.

Goals from Younes Kaboul, Luka Modric and Peter Crouch fired Spurs into the knockout rounds at White Hart Lane, leaving Redknapp’s men top of Group A with only a game against eliminated FC Twente remaining.

Redknapp said he is keen for Spurs to clinch first place ahead of second-placed Inter to avoid European big guns such as Real Madrid and Barcelona in the next round.

“We want to win the group – you want that top spot if you can get it,” Redknapp said. “It looks as though most big teams will finish top of their group so it’s important if you can finish top.”

Spurs are making their Champions League debut this season and Redknapp is delighted that his club have looked perfectly at home in the competition, citing emphatic wins over Young Boys, Inter and Twente.

“We have played some great football here. Overall it was a good night for us again. We scored four against Young Boys, four against Twente, scored three against Inter and three tonight,” Redknapp said.

“We have played some great games, created some great chances and played some attractive football.

“We have to keep going. We have players here who can play in any team. Look at Gareth Bale, he could play in any team, Modric could and so could others I think. We have some outstanding players here.”
