Tottenham Hotspur recall on loan keeper Ben Alnwick
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has recalled Ben Alnwick from his loan spell at Carlisle United. Alnwick was brought to Brunton Park by ex Carlisle boss John Ward on a one month loan in October, and made his six appearances in his four week stay at the club. Caretaker boss John Abott has said that he would have liked Alnwick to stay for another two months, but understood the circumstances in which he was being recalled to White Hart Lane.
Alnwick, 21, was signed by Tottenham from Sunderland in January 2007 for £900,000. He has not made his first team Spurs debut yet, and has also had loan spells at Luton Town and Leicester City.
Newcastle United 2-2 Manchester City
A late equaliser from Stephen Ireland broke Newcastle hearts as Manchester City escaped with a 2-2 draw at St.James Park.
Newcastle, playing without influential striker Michael Owen, received an early setback when defender Habib Beye was sent off in the 12th minute for a challenge on Robinho by referee Rob Styles. The former Real Madrid forward coolly converted from 12 yards to give City the lead. Styles was the referee who gave Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo a controversial penalty against Bolton Wanderers in September. Styles admitted to making a mistake in judging J Lloyd Samuel’s challenge, and television replays showed that Beye had a fair case too.
