Gareth Bale rolled back the years with a dazzling display as Tottenham put Burnley to the sword on Sunday.

The Welshman has found chances hard to come by since rejoining Spurs on a season-long loan but lit up the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a performance reminiscent of his first spell at the club.

Bale opened the scoring after 68 seconds and then rounded off a 4-0 win with a curling effort in the second half.

Willian and Nicolas Pepe inspired Arsenal's comeback win against Leicester City while John Stones was on the scoresheet against West Ham to help Manchester City reach the incredible milestone of 20 wins across competitions.
