Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at Real Madrid after Gareth Bale's winner against Brighton on Sunday.

Bale came off the bench to help Spurs claim a 2-1 victory in north London.

It was the Welshman's first goal for Tottenham since 2013, and Mourinho hit out at Real over their treatment of Bale in recent seasons.

"For a week or so now, he's been improving," Mourinho told a media conference. "It's not just from watching him, the data supports that as well. We knew, Gareth knew. We share ideas and feelings.

"He deserves that [the goal]. When I have five minutes I'm going on Safari to look at the Madrid websites to see what they say about him.

"He showed great personality and had a great impact, scoring a very important goal for us. He also joined Harry in a very experienced way to play the last 15 minutes for us.

"They were very clever, very intelligent, especially at holding the ball up and bringing it into zones where they couldn't hurt us.

"He knows that we care about him and he cares about the club. I think he's a perfect fit. He's very calm, very intelligent. I'm very pleased for him to score the winning goal."
