Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says there's more to come from goalscorer Gareth Bale after victory over Brighton.

After scoring the winning goal against Brighton on Sunday, Mourinho claims Bale is not yet ready fitness-wise to start a Premier League fixture at the moment but that status could change soon.

Mourinho said: "He had bad feelings before, because the training process was hard, and his body was suffering a little bit, but we gave him what he needs as a whole.

"I am speaking about sports science, medical, my assistants, the other players. I'm very pleased for him to score this winning goal.

"I told already for about a week or so, I'm saying he's improving. It's not just by watching him, the data supports our training process. We knew. The good thing is Gareth also knows. We share ideas and share feelings.

"He doesn't have 90 minutes of a Premier League match in his legs yet so we're using the Europa League to complement his training process.

"We are using some matches in the Premier League when we decide to play him and the normal tendency for him will be of course to be better and better and better.

"I always will have this care with him until we feel that he's ready."
