Bale gives Spurs headache after Wales battle

Tottenham management will be concerned after seeing Gareth Bale forced off at halftime of Wales' 2-1 win in Scotland.

The Tottenham ace had to be withdrawn at half-time as the after-effects of a virus and a heavy challenge by Grant Hanley got the better of him.

Wales coach Chris Coleman said: "Some of their tackling was brutal. Unfortunately we had to bring Gareth off at half-time. He had a bang on the ankle which was sore to start with. But he's OK.

"If we'd have lost tonight questions would have been asked of me again and my job."
