Tottenham's attack really is going to have to be the best around if they keep defending like they did in Sunday's 3-3 draw vs. West Ham. Gareth Bale's second coming at Spurs inevitably drew the focus before the Hammers' visit and the 31-year-old had the chance to write the perfect script, leaving Angelo Ogbonna on the turf as he cut inside and unleashed a left-foot shot in stoppage-time.
Bale's shot flashed wide of Lukasz Fabianski's left-hand post and the moment evaporated. Instead of providing the storybook homecoming, Bale's miss instead encapsulated how clinical Spurs need to be given a porous back-line that somehow contrived to throw away a 3-0 lead in the most dramatic of circumstances.
