King admits drop fear

Tottenham ace Ledley King admits the club is still in a relegation battle.

Spurs have made a big recovery under Harry Redknapp, but are still just 16th in the table.

He said: “You only have to look at the table and see how tight it is. We’re aware of that.

“This was a good opportunity for us to try to push away from that bottom group, but every time we lose a game we are right back in it, so there’s still a lot of work to be done.

“We switched off for a split second and that cost us a goal. On days like that, good teams would grind out a 0-0 and take a point.

“Over the years teams have found it tough to win at White Hart Lane.

“Last season and so far this season we have slipped off the boil at home, so we are slowly trying to make it a fortress again.”
