    It was all down to Serge Aurier and that's two assists for him. It's brilliant play down the right hand side and he bursts between two people. Harry Kane makes a good run and and takes a few Sheffield United defenders away away and the ball into Bale's pass is brilliant. He was never going to miss and that's a hat-trick for Gareth Bale.

    That is Gareth Bale's second Premier League hat-trick. His first was in December 2012 against Aston Villa.

    Gareth Bale just did a golfing celebration too. Cheeky - but I like it.

    Gareth Bale hat-trick

    Gareth Bale gets his hat-trick. He and Serge Aurier are the new Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, linking up again.

    Dele Alli picks out Aurier down the right, he cuts inside and plays it into the path of Bale. The Welshman lets the ball run across his body and hammers it into the bottom corner from 20 yards.

    Does Bale win the Golden Boot on goals scored per minute played!?

    Spurs 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Spurs have a free-kick on the right corner of the box. Gareth Bale fancies a hat-trick and hits a nice swerving effort but it's central and Aaron Ramsdale saves.

    Hugo Lloris makes his first save of the game. Oli Burke runs down the right wing and crosses. John Fleck steps over the ball and there is Oli Norwood, who shoots first time from 16 yards straight at the keeper. He had time there to take a touch or two.

    It's a brilliant finish. Osborn should do more though. Sometimes you've got to take a foul for the team and he didn't. It's a good break from Tottenham and once Son picks out Bale and he's in that one-on-one position, he steadies himself and the finish is world class right into the top corner.

    Gareth Bale

    Spurs counter from Sheffield United's corner and Gareth Bale gets his second.

    Son Heung-min carries the ball forward for Spurs and rides a tackle before playing the ball through to Bale - who is basically on on goal from the centre circle. Chris Basham can't catch him and Bale sends Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way with a confident finish from the edge of the box.

    Spurs haven't started in the second half apart from that Son chance. It's been all Sheffield United. I knew bringing on Burke with his pace would cause problems. Ryan Mason will be thinking at 1-0 this isn't over that's for sure.

    A few weeks ago I called Spurs' goal music some awful 90s techno and that didn't go down well on social media with their fans.

    It's a very interesting "goal music" choice isn't it? "Sandstorm by Darude". Want to feel old......it's over 20 years old now. Can just imagine the guy in charge of selecting that is a massive dad dancer.

    It's a game of opinions isn't it. I personally have no idea if he meant it to not.

    If he did, it was an automatic red card and probably a long ban. If he didn't then it's just unfortunate.

    Fleck had a look, knew exactly what he was doing. Disgusting. Yet more embarrassing incompetence from the PGMOL cabal.

    Gary

    How is Clinton Morrison suggesting it's accidental and not deliberate?! He looks at Lo Celso as he brings his foot down. It's a nasty action. Blatant.

    Alex, London.

    How is that 'challenge' by Fleck on Lo Celso not a red card?
