Video: Brilliant Bale free-kick helps Spurs take 1-0 lead against Antwerp

Tottenham Hotspur have broken the deadlock after 57 minutes of action in North London against Royal Antwerp.

The goal came as a result of a foul which saw Gareth Bale step up and take the free-kick some distance away from goal and the Welshman unleashed a wicked, dipping effort which Benavente could only claw out only for Carlos Vinicius to follow up and tap home.

Vinicius has now scored three goals in five Europa League outings in Spurs colours.

Jose Mourinho reacted to the goal by bringing on Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Tanguy Ndombele in place of Gareth Bale, Carlos Vinicius and Harry Winks.
