Alan Hutton has responded to criticism from Thomas
Sorensen after the Tottenham defender's challenge at Stoke City on
Sunday led to the Danish keeper leaving the action with a badly cut
eye.
Sorensen claimed he was close to being blinded and felt the
Scotland international could have avoided contact when flying
into the tackle.
However, Hutton has reiterated his apology, after saying sorry
for the incident on the field, and stressed it is a contact sport
after all.
"It's harsh," said Hutton. "I said I was sorry and I totally
mean that.
"I'd like to say sorry again. Hopefully he'll be back as soon as
possible.
"I've been in that position before myself and I would never go
out and try to harm anyone.
"It was one of those things.
"I've received bad tackles - it's a contact sport, I don't
say anything about it."
