Tottenham was played for long moments in the meeting with Brighton on Sunday night. Despite this, the London club were able to go to rest with a 1-0 lead after Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot.
Ten minutes into the second half, Brighton tied after a beautiful attack. Goal scorer? Tariq Lamptey.
With 20 minutes remaining, José Mourinho decided to replace Gareth Bale with Erik Lamela. The Welshman had time to be on the field for three minutes before giving the home team an advantage again. Sergio Reguilón found Bale with a post from the left edge that Bale clasped with his forehead. It was the 31-year-old’s first goal since returning to Spurs.
There were no more goals, but Bale’s first Premier League goal since 2013 was decisive in the match.
– It’s a wonderful feeling, you just want to go in and do a good job. I worked for the team and managed to score a goal, Bale tells Sky Sports.
– Everyone only talks about the individual, but I have always said that I am a team player. The most important thing is the collective.
Bale concludes:
– We grow in each game and we learn from our mistakes. I have not played much football, I have had some knee problems that have taken me some time. But I work hard in training.
The victory takes Tottenham to second place in the league, the team is two points behind Liverpool.
