Tottenham coach Joe Jordan has hailed the all-round game of Gareth Bale.
Bale struck twice in victory over Blackburn Rovers on the weekend.
He also set-up Roman Pavlyuchenko's header with a fantastic cross on the run for 2-0 before half-time with Peter Crouch sliding in the third goal.
"Gareth is a provider and he's also scoring goals, he's doing both," Jordan told the Spurs website.
"He is so positive going forward but there is never reluctance on his part to get back in and do a shift when we haven't got the ball.
"He's got that great work ethic and the engine to do it."
