Bale's Late Goal Spares Spurs


1-0 

A late goal by Gareth Bale gave Tottenham a much needed three points today against Southampton.  With just a few games left in the season, every point is important as next season's Champions League is still undecided.  Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, and Tottenham are all fighting for position in the table for a top-four finish.

Tottenham had been out-played by Southampton for most of the match and nobody for the Spurs had a shot-on-goal until the last five minutes of the game.  But the first shot-on-goal was not wasted as Bale was able to score the difference maker.  Coming across the face of goal on his left foot, Bale worked the space to blast a clean shot past the outstretched arms of the keeper (86').

Tottenham Hotspurs have just three games left in the season and their place in the Champions League remains uncertain.  Today's win is a step in the right direction, though the upcoming match with Chelsea midweek will have much bigger implications.
