Tottenham fans have had to remain patient to see Gareth Bale return to action and the Welshman has reminded the Spurs faithful why his return will be worth the wait. Earlier this week, Tottenham posted a video of their hero Gareth Bale returning to training and the 31-year-old scored some sensational goals at Enfield, leaving fans in awe.

Gareth Bale training: Spurs star scores stunning goals upon return from injury
Just before the international break, Spurs boss Jose Mourinho claimed that Gareth Bale had no chance of featuring against Manchester United due to fitness issues, but was optimistic of the winger returning after the two-week break. Bale has been unable to play for Spurs this season since returning to the club on a season-long loan from Real Madrid in the summer. However, following a few weeks of recovery, Bale returned to training at Spurs and showed his class with the ball at his feet.
Bale scored a few sensational goals and reminded fans what he's still capable of with his lethal left foot. His first strike was a superb curling effort and the second, a well-taken finish with the outside of his foot. Spurs fans were left delighted having seen Bale's sharpness in training and took to Twitter to express their joy.
One wrote, "YES!! Bale is exactly what we've needed for so long" while another added, "Can you imaging Bale linking up with Son and Kane? It's going be amazinggg". One Arsenal fan couldn't help but praise Bale and wrote, "It pains me to say this as an Arsenal fan but Spurs might be title challengers with Bale". Some also wondered whether Bale would be able to feature against West Ham. "It's only six days, maybe we can see Bale in action against West Ham," wrote another user.
Bale scored a total of 55 goals in 203 games during his time at Spurs, including 21 league goals during his final season in 2012-13, to be named Premier League Player of the Year. Bale then joined Real Madrid in 2013 in a then-world record transfer fee worth £85m. At the Spanish capital, Bale scored 105 goals in 251 appearances, winning four Champions League titles and two LaLiga titles with Los Blancos.
