Gareth Bale thinks being fouled is a positive thing

Gareth Bale thinks being fouled is a positive thing as long as referees keep making fine decisions.

Martin Skrtel and Steve Gohouri receive red cards after being failed to handle Welshman.

He told Spurs TV: “It’s not nice but I suppose it’s a compliment when you’re playing well and people want to drag you down.

“There have been two sent off in the last two games, so they can keep kicking me if they want as long as they get sent off.”

And the Welshman admitted that it’s something that the team have been practising. He said: “We’ve been speaking about making runs from corners,

“It’s always good to get you head on it and get a goal. I’ve scored a few goals in the air now.

“Hopefully, I can score a lot more, on the floor and in the air.”

He hopes he can continue scoring as Spurs welcome rivals Arsenal to White Hart Lane at the weekend. He said: “It’s a massive game, even for the fans.

“We need to keep looking to win, get on a run, keep looking up the table.

“Hopefully, we can post a good win going into the international break.”
