Harry Redknapp has urged his team not to let their new-found momentum slip in the battle for Champions League qualification.

Spurs maintained their slender hold on fourth spot in the Barclays Premier League with a 4-1 win at relegation-threatened Bolton on Wednesday night and have now won two in succession after a run of three straight defeats. Redknapp feels those performances must be repeated for his side to have a chance of rejoining the European elite as fifth-placed Newcastle trail only on goal difference and even fourth position - normally the last qualifying space - might not be enough if Chelsea, currently sixth, win this season's Champions League. That means overhauling Arsenal, a point ahead of Spurs and Newcastle in third, must also be a serious target and Redknapp said: "Anything can happen still, it is all to play for. We have got to try to win the last two games and see where it takes us. "We have still got to get fourth, never mind third. It was an important game for us and I thought we played ever so well in the first half - we dominated it from start to finish. "We came in only 1-0 up, could have been two or three. But credit to Bolton, they came out second half and came at us a bit more, got the ball forward and they got the goal."
