It's happening. Dele Alli is coming on. But who for?

How long since Spurs really enjoyed themselves on the Premier League stage?

They're playing the sort of stuff that took them to the top of the table earlier in the season. That seems such a LONG time ago.

Andrew Mitchell: Cracking finish, but where was the left side of Burnley’s defence there? Even before Spurs won possession he was stood in acres of space on the half way line. Not a claret shirt in sight.

Tattz: It's taken some time, but Bale is back. Similar to his goal in the Europa League in the week - just an instinctive finish. Needs to do this consistently now.

Everyone in a white shirt wants to score!

Sergio Reguilon creates space for himself outside the box and has a pop. Blocked.

Gareth Bale has been directly involved in seven goals in his last four appearances for Tottenham in all competitions (4 goals, 3 assists).

That is a top top goal - it all starts from Tanguy Ndombele touch who flicks it to Son Heung-Min and plays a good one two with Sergio Reguilon. Son just breaks it and it opens up, good movement by Lucas Moura and Harry Kane.

Once the ball eventually comes to Gareth Bale it is a fantastic finish - Nick Pope doesn't even dive what a finish that is that beats him. The move before that was fantastic as well.

Two goals. One assist.

Spurs fans have waited a long time for this but this really is the Gareth Bale show!

Burnley's defence is a lot tighter. Those pockets of space that were freely available for Son Heung-Min and Gareth Bale are not so visible now. Spurs continue to spray the ball around with patience.

Spurs have a London derby with Fulham on Thursday but there's no sign of a change from Jose Mourinho at this stage. He obviously feels there is still work to do. The TV camera zooms in on Dele Alli who is sitting patiently. He'd love to have a go at this Burnley defence.

Burnley need to keep their composure if they are to get back into this. Matej Vydra gives away a cheap free-kick after losing his cool with Davinson Sanchez.

A quiet start to the half. Harry Kane is down tying up his laces. Shouldn't he have done that in the dressing room?

We're back under way. A magnificent Clarets comeback or a big Spurs win?

Someone like Harry Kane who loves scoring and Son Heung-Min who hasn't scored yet, they will be thinking they want more goals. It's been a good half for Tottenham but Jose Mourinho won't be happy with the intensity off the ball - but going forward they have been brilliant.

But Burnley are still in it, they're still creating half chances. You can never say never, I know it's 3-0 but if you look at the West Ham game Burnley will be taking a bit of hope from that.

The players are on their way back out. Clinton Morrison thinks Burnley are still in this...

One for Tottenham fans. Thumbs up if you want Gareth Bale to stay beyond the end of the season. Down if you don't.

Fulham

Fulham manager Scott Parker: "There were some big chances today. In the first half we didn't really assert ourselves and lacked a threat. We changed that at half time. It was probably always going to be a 1-0 game and we did everything in our power to win it. Defensively we were very good. It's a point and in the Premier League it's a point gained. We move on.

"Positionally we changed it in attack a little bit. We cut through the lines and put people in positions in the second half. You have to find a way and get your moments against Palace. We certainly had our moments. Very pleased with the team overall. Of course we wanted three points, but we get one.

"I was very pleased defensively. We saw that last game against Brighton that Palace are always in games. We nullifed that very well. The missing part was of course the goal. We will win games if we play like that. Today we fell a little bit short but performance-wise we were there.

"I personally believe we can give anyone a game in this division. We keep moving, keep progressing and there's still a long way to go."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson: "I'm very satisfied. Fulham are playing very well and are a good team. We knew we would be under pressure for large parts of the game. People have to work very hard and defensively, I can't compliment them enough. We were under pressure for a lot of the time.

"I'm delighted. I still think we can do more with the ball sometimes than we do but that's dependent on the opposition as well. They don't give you a lot of time on the ball but the way we dug in is very commendable.

"I can't praise the players enough for the work rate. We have got a lot of players to come back into the team. These players need a rest too. We are looking forward to after the international break because we have a lot of talented players in the team. Hopefully we can punish teams more when we get the space in behind them.

"I know we have a lot more strings to our bow than we have perhaps been able to show in the last few games. If you know you can dig in and defend as well as we have done in the last few games, that is good to know. We have our own stars that will be back in the team and can ask a lot of questions."

Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson is 'delighted' with a point against Fulham.

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC Sport:

“Considering the level we were facing, to do what we’ve done today, the players deserve a lot of credit. I’m really proud of my players.

“Coming into this game I was concerned; we’ve played a lot of games. But let’s not talk about fatigue. We just got on with it.

"They’re one of the most dangerous teams in the league to play once you go behind against them. The reaction was terrific the team looked really mature. We played some excellent stuff.

"Nicolas Pepe has been really consistent. This is what we want from him. He creates chances. I’m really pleased with him and all the senior players.

“It’s unacceptable the position we are in. We have to improve this dramatically. The only way we can do that is to win games.”
