Jose Mourinho says Gareth Bale has beaten a 'psychological barrier' to return to his best form for Tottenham after his brace in victory over Crystal Palace continued Real Madrid loanee's devastating spell in front of goal

Jose Mourinho believes Gareth Bale has overcome a 'psychological barrier' in his return to top form for Tottenham in recent weeks.

The Welshman returned to his former club in the summer on loan from Real Madrid and struggled to make any impact early on, only coming into his own in the last few weeks.

Bale hit a brace in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace to continue his own excellent form, which includes six goals and three assists in his last six games in all competitions to help Spurs put together a four-game winning streak.
