Bale said that he was extremely happy to score the ball into the opponent's goal, and thanked Sergio Regilon for the transfer.
“If I came on as a substitute and one of the guys scored a goal, and I helped in defense, I would be just as pleased.
That is why I am happy not because of my goal, but because of the most important victory of Tottenham, - he told Sky Sports after the match.
This is Bale's first goal for Tottenham in more than seven years.
The last time he scored for Spurs was in May 2013.
Earlier it was reported that Tottenham beat Brighton 2: 1.
Jose Mourinho's club is in second place with 14 points.
