Gareth Bale over 'psychological scars', say Spurs boss Jose Mourinho

Gareth Bale has recovered from the "psychological scars" that led to his slow start to life back at Tottenham, manager Jose Mourinho said after their 4-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Wales' Bale, on loan from Real Madrid, has scored six goals in his past six games, with another three assists.

"I'm very happy, he is a fantastic player and I'm so happy to work with a player like him," said Mourinho.

Bale, 31, arrived at Spurs with a knee problem following a season in Spain where he struggled with injuries and a lack of first-team football under Zinedine Zidane.
