Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho says he looks forward to seeing Real Madrid's response to Gareth Bale scoring his first goal since returning to the Premier League. Bale, on loan at Spurs from the Spanish champions, came off the bench to net the winning goal in a 2-1 victory at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. The Welsh forward left the North London club to join Real for a world-record fee in 2013, but his time in the Spanish capital divided opinion. Despite winning four Champions League titles and two La Liga crowns and scoring over 100 goals for the club, Bale's commitment to the cause and injury record were used as a stick in which to beat down his achievements with. While he has been used sparingly by Mourinho since returning to Spurs last month, the Portuguese believes Bale's first goal in the English top flight in more than seven years was sure to provoke a reaction in Madrid. "I am pleased for him because he deserved the goal. When I have five minutes I am going to Safari to look at Madrid's website to see what they say," Mourinho told reporters. "He knows we care about him and we know he cares about us, the team and the club, Spurs. He's the perfect fit, he's very calm, very intelligent, he has good feelings." <strong>__________________________</strong> <strong>__________________________</strong> Bale, 31, showed his ruthlessness in front of goal remains with a powerful header 17 minutes from time after replacing Erik Lamela in the second half to ensure Mourinho's men did not slip up in a controversial encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "It's a great feeling," said Bale. "I just want to come on and make an impact for the team. "Everyone talks about individual play, but I've always said I'm a team player. The most important thing is the collective." Spurs face Bulgaria's Ludogorets in the Europa League on Thursday before a Premier League clash against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
