Bale explains ‘WM’ goal celebration & why Spurs team-mate Lucas refuses to get involved

Gareth Bale has revealed why Tottenham team-mate Lucas Moura refused to get involved with his ‘WM’ goal celebration, with Spurs’ Brazilian forward delivering a “just Lucas” response to the “Welsh Mafia”.

Jose Mourinho saw a recent renaissance by his Wales international striker continue during a 4-0 Premier League win over Burnley.

Bale bagged a brace in that contest, allowing him to play up to the cameras with his new trademark way of recognising any effort that hits the back of the net - which recognises the fine work done by the Make-A-Wish Foundation but has taken on an alternative meaning in the eyes of some of his club colleagues.
