LUCAS MOURA scored a sensational solo goal for Spurs in the Europa League to cap off a near-perfect performance by Jose Mourinho’s side.
Moura scored the third in just 35 minutes as Spurs eased to a 4-1 first leg win against Austrian minnows Wolfsberger AC – with Gareth Bale grabbing a goal and an assist.
Moura’s goal came after Son opened the scoring and Gareth Bale produced a moment of magic to double the lead.
The Brazilian forward jinked his way past numerous defenders before rifling the ball in at the near post.
Earlier, Bale had reminded Tottenham fans and Mourinho of his supreme talent.
The Welsh wizard used his pace to burst down the right wing before a brilliant chop inside and a rifled strike beyond the keeper.
In an impressive first 45 minutes from Bale, he also set up Son Heung-min for Tottenham’s opening goal.
Bale’s goal comes after a disappointing return to Tottenham which has seen him frequently left on the sidelines by Mourinho.
The 31-year-old has netted just once in seven Premier League games so far this season.
Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett recently said in an interview with Goal: “He still loves Madrid.

“He hasn’t got any problems with the club, it’s a wonderful club.
“It wouldn’t be a problem [for him to return]. They just have to decide if they need him back, if he can play for Madrid and all these things.
“I guess you have to ask Mr. Zidane if he wants him, I don’t think so.”
Michael Liendl briefly gave the Austrians a glimmer of hope from the penalty spot after Moussa Sissoko’s clumsy foul.
But Carlos Vinicius scored his fourth goal in the competition late on to seal the win.
