Gareth Bale has urged David Bentley to keep his focus after his successful return to the Tottenham first team this week.

The England winger scored in the victory over Fulham and won praise from Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.

Spurs fullback Bale said: "We all work hard in training and do a bit extra to keep ourselves fit, just in case we do get called up to the team.

"And it showed with David against Fulham. He played really well, got involved in everything and scored his goal, which was good. This is a big year for the club. The fourth spot is wide open with three or four teams fighting for that place and we're one of them.

"We want to keep playing as well as we can and win every game now.

"We have the squad here at Tottenham to do that and we just want to keep working hard and hopefully the results will follow."
