Rio Ferdinand slams 'inexperienced' Tanganga after red card in Tottenham's loss to Crystal Palace

Rio Ferdinand delivered a scathing verdict of Japhet Tanganga's conduct in Tottenham's 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Saturday, saying he showed 'a lack of experience' after being sent off.

The Spurs defender was shown a second yellow in the second half at Selhurst Park, with the scores level at the time, having made a shoulder barge on Wilfried Zaha before a rash tackle on Jordan Ayew.

Ferdinand, watching the game as a BT Sport pundit, felt the sending off cost Spurs and said he was punished for a 'rush of blood', insisting he needed his team-mates around him to 'calm him down'.
