Bale Leads Tottenham To Victory With Hat-Trick

Share

Gareth Bale’s hat-trick gave Tottenham a comfortable 4-0  victory over relegated Sheffield United as they maintained their pursuit of European football.

Bale scores super hat-trick

Bale flicked in the opener when it was lifted over the top by Serge Aurier before the right-back teed him up to thump in the third in the second half.

Son Heung-min played in the Welsh international on the break for his second – a thumping strike which flew into the top right corner.

Son rounded off a dominant Spurs performance when he curled in a superb fourth goal.

The South Korean also had a goal disallowed for offside five minutes into the second half.

The result leaves Tottenham sitting five points off fourth place and the Champions League qualification spot with four games remaining.

Sheffield United, who were relegated on 17 April following defeat to Wolves, had one shot on target and could not test goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
