Bale eyeing twin weekend targets

Tottenham forward Gareth Bale is determined to end the week inside the top four of the Premier League and with a second Player of the Year award on his mantelpiece.

Bale returned from a two-and-a-half week injury absence on Sunday to help inspire Spurs to a dramatic 3-1 win over Manchester City.

Although boss Andre Villas-Boas changed the game with his substitutions, Bale’s contribution was also key to the win, which came after Samir Nasri had put City ahead.
