Flaws in Gareth Bale's game are few and far between but panicked Premier League defences at least now know that making him shoot with his weaker foot will give them a chance.

The Welshman scored twice in Tottenham's Hotspur's 2-1 home win over Newcastle on Saturday to make it four in three league matches but he could so easily have grabbed a hat-trick had an injury-time opportunity not fallen on his right foot.

'' I'm dissappointed with the one I missed. I need to work on that '', he told Sky television with a smirk. '' I'm enjoying my football, that's the most important thing ''
He should thank God for the left foot he has already.
So many people are begging God for that
