Tottenham keeper Gomes given vote of confidence

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp claims he has no problems in selecting stopper Heurelho Gomes this weekend. The much-maligned keeper has come in for fierce criticism of late following a number of inept showings between the sticks.

"He's our number one goalkeeper so he's got to do the job - we're relying on him heavily," Redknapp said.

"I believe in him and we have to believe in him.

"Obviously he is disappointed with the weekend but his record tells you he is a world-class goalkeeper.

"He has to bounce back from that and turn in a terrific performance this weekend (against Blackburn). I'm sure he'll do that. He's a strong character. It's up to him now."
