Gareth Bale scores brace in victory over Palace

Tottenham played in Sunday's final Premier League match of the day and Gareth Bale more than did his bit for Jose Mourinho's men. 

The Welshman gave Spurs the lead after 25 minutes when Harry Kane crossed the ball to him at the far post and he tapped in from inside the six yard box. 

Crystal Palace levelled in first half stoppage time through Christian Benteke's header, but Gareth Bale once again scored in the second half. 

Bale played a cross field pass to Reguilon, the Spaniard sent a cross to Kane at the back post and he headed for Bale in the middle who headed home from close range. 

Harry Kane then made it 3-1 three minutes later with a curling shot from outside the area and then the Englishman got another goal 14 minutes from time to seal the three points. Lamela played a looping pass to Son, who then squared for Kane and he headed in. The goal was confirmed after a VAR check.
