Double-teaming Bale good for Spurs, insists Hutton

Gareth Bale's Tottenham form can only be good for his teammates, says Alan Hutton.

The 21-year-old appears to be unstoppable but Spurs right-back Hutton believes opponents will soon put two men on him in a bid to stop his devastating runs down the left flank.

However, Hutton thinks that will leave more space for other players in the side to make an impact.

"Gareth has been phenomenal over the last few weeks and a lot of our attacks have come down the left," says Hutton. "But it won't always happen that way and I am always ready to play my part when the ball comes my way.

"Teams will have noticed how well Gareth has been playing, they will see him powering up and down the wing and will look to double up on him, which will create space for other players in our side."
