Gareth Bale made a double and assisted in Tottenham Hotspur's victory against Burnley (4-0), confirming that the Welshman is experiencing his sweetest moment since joining the English team on loan from Real Madrid.

It didn't take Bale two minutes to see the door in what was expected to be a close duel against the 'Clarets', one of the most 'amarrateguis' teams in the Premier League.

But with barely a minute left, Heung-min Son crossed from the right, Bale got ahead of the center-backs and put his toe to beat Nick Pope.

The one on loan from Real Madrid scored his third goal in the last four games and continued with the good momentum of the week after scoring against

Wolfsberger

in the Europa League on Thursday

.

"Yes," he said when asked if he is at the level he would like to be.

"I am getting closer. It has taken time, but I am happy, improving physically and gaining confidence. It is what has been seen in my last games," he said.

So well is Bale that a few minutes later he had the confidence to make a pass from his field looking for the career of Harry Kane, who left the striker alone to define, with some luck, before the goalkeeper.

Three goals in four games

Bale's appearances left the game on a tray for Tottenham who put third before the break when Moura volleyed a cross from

Sergio Reguilón

.

Although Mourinho was already thinking about replacing him, so as not to burden him with minutes that would lead to an injury, Bale still had things to prove.

In a counterattack led by

Son

, the Korean saw the Welshman unmarked, gave him the ball and he controlled and put it to the long post, touching wood, completing his double and adding his fourth goal in four games.

Bale, who was replaced in the 70th minute by

Erik Lamela

, signed his first double since September 2019 and is living his best moment since leaving Madrid to join José

Mourinho's team

.
