Referee offers Redknapp apology

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said that referee Martin Atkinson apologised to him over 'the goal that never was' in the 5-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea.



Chelsea were edging the contest 1-0 when Benoit Assou-Ekotto, lying prostrate amid a cluster of bodies, appeared to clear Juan Mata's shot before it crossed the line - but the match official deemed otherwise.

"The second goal was a disaster," said Redknapp. "It was nowhere near a goal. It was a huge mistake. We looked too open after that and they picked us off. It was key.

"There were bodies on the line and the ball couldn't possibly get over the line. He must have (guessed). He can't have been sure.



"I spoke to him. He says he feels worse than I do. I said: 'I don't think so'. He knows he's made a mistake and he says he'll have a bad week as well."

"Goal-line technology has to come into the game. You can't keep having situations like that."
