Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Liverpool Gareth Bale made one and scored one as Spurs go in at half-time two goals to the good.

The second came courtesy of Bale's left boot and a free-kick that swerved before zipping past Pepe Reina Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images

With 18 minutes to go Bale got on the scoresheet again, this time it was at the wrong end when Aaron Lennon cleared Steven Gerrard's header off the line only for the ball to smack Bale in the face and rebound into the Tottenham net Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images
