Football Weekly Extra: Gareth Bale in a class of his own

On today's Football Weekly Extra, James Richardson is joined by Jacob Steinberg, James Horncastle and Barry Glendenning to look back on all the midweek action from the Premier League.

We start with Tottenham's victory over Liverpool, featuring a masterclass from Gareth Bale (including diving and a comical own goal), before hearing from Dominic Fifield about another terrible performance from Chelsea as they drew 0-0 at home to Fulham.

Next, it's the business at the bottom: Harry Redknapp's first game in charge at QPR, Sunderland and Newcastle in free-fall, and Darren Bent-less Villa winning against Reading.

Finally, Sid Lowe looks forward to the Madrid derby; we discuss the fallout from the antisemitic chanting; and come up with ideas to save the Europa League.

Jimbo's paper review will be with you on Friday, and we'll see you back here on Monday
