    Harry Kane

    What a finish!

    Son Heung-min charges away with a run down the left and he whips it deep into the box.

    Matt Doherty comes in on the far side, heads it back into the six-yard area and Harry Kane acrobatically volleys it in.

    BeauB: When Bale played for Spurs 7 years ago, when he was younger and fitter, Spurs won zero trophies. The idea that the return of such an injury prone player is going to change all that is ridiculous.

    William Banham: Bale has spent the last 2 years watching football, still got the fitness for the PL or just a luxury player. A lifeline for Mourinho but just a matter of time before there is a big bust up of egos.

    Squonkster: re: Joe 11.45. It amazes me how people think that negativity from fans affects the players. They don't read most of this stuff and they don't care who like them or don't. It's immaterial and a weak excuse to mask the team's obvious failings.

    Howard David Fisher: Stefan (11:33) sorry mate, but you are wrong. In every way possible, Bale's return is a massive boost for the club. COYS

    No messing from Jose Mourinho here when asked by BT Sport if Dele Alli has been left out because of a fitness issue.

    "No. We have a huge squad, a squad with numbers that are very difficult to manage. I never had it, I don't like to have it and it's not easy for me. I start with Son, with Lucas and with Harry Kane and on the bench I still have Moussa Sissoko, Erik Lamela and Steven Bergwijn. We have too many players for some positions and some of them are paying the price for this."

    Southampton have won their past two home league games against Tottenham, having failed to win any of the previous six.

    Spurs could lose back-to-back league fixtures against the Saints for the first time since March 2004.

    Tottenham have gone nine Premier League matches without a clean sheet against Southampton, their joint longest current run against any side, level with Liverpool.

    Re 11.33, yet more negativity from my fellow Spurs fans. Switch that mentality around folks, it rubs off and is inherently self-defeatist. You're part of the problem. Think about squad rotation and the number of games we potentially have to play over the next two weeks. COYS!

    Gareth Bale is going to be an excellent signing for Tottenham, and he is the kind of player that will lift the whole dressing room when he walks through the door.

    Even without him, though, I'd back Spurs here. They were poor against Everton and I found what Jose Mourinho said afterwards about their "lazy pressing" very strange, but I'd expect a reaction from them.

    Mourinho very rarely loses consecutive games and Southampton are hardly in top form either.

    Not just because they lost to Crystal Palace, but more because they barely laid a glove on them in that game.

    Prediction: 0-2

    Beginning to look like Reguilon's £27m transfer fee and Bale's £250k-a-week wages are going to be funded by offloading Dele Alli then? Really not sure how I feel about the possibility of him moving on when it still feels like he has so much more to give at Spurs.

    MOTD pundit and former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy reacts to the Gareth Bale signing.

    Gareth Bale has that "wow" factor, something only a few very special players in the world have got.

    When they play, they have a different aura and a presence on the pitch that affects everyone - even before they kick a ball.

    So, Bale will not just have a positive effect on his new Tottenham team-mates and give them a massive confidence boost, he will change the way opposition players feel about facing Spurs.

    They will be worried when they see his name on the teamsheet and then, when they face him on the pitch, I can tell you now they will drop off five yards because they will be scared of him - whoever they are.

    I think Newcastle have had a great transfer window and they proved it last weekend with their win at West Ham.

    Two of their new signings, Jeff Hendrick and Callum Wilson, scored, which is always nice.

    Brighton had chances against Chelsea, but they didn't take them. I think they will be fine this season in terms of avoiding the drop, but who will score their goals is still a concern.

    As a Spurs fan I am gutted at Bale coming back. He is yesterday's man who will bring no improvement to our team whatsoever.

    Stefan, Oakwood

    Hoping Dele being left out is just a case of giving him the chance to recharge the batteries. If he goes, it'll take the gloss off Bale arriving.

    Mark, Wales

    Disappointed to not see Alli involved but can’t help thinking Mourinho is preparing for a change in formation with the new signings. Getting rid of a traditional CAM therefore making Alli surplus to requirements

    I am a Spurs fan and I think Eric Dier is one of the most overrated players in the Prem. Average in CM and plain woeful at CB. We need an upgrade and fast!
