JAKARTA - Gareth Bale scored two goals in Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 win against Burnley on Monday morning Western Indonesia Time. The winger said he was happy since returning to England.

The 31-year-old scored in the 2nd minute before setting up Harry Kane for the Spurs' second goal in the 15th minute.

After Lucas Moura made it 3-0 in the 31st minute, Bale scored his second of the match early in the second half when he received a pass from Son Heung-min and fired past goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Bale has only started two of his eight Premier League appearances and scored just one goal before helping his side to victory against Sean Dyche's side.

However, the Wales international denied he is frustrated by the lack of playing time this season and hopes to play a more important role after helping his team to record their second league win in seven games.

"The most important thing is we know we are not in good form and it is important to get back to winning tracks," he told the BBC after the match.

"It's not just about scoring goals. It's about our game as a whole and helping the team. I'm happy with the goals and assists and whatever I can do for the team."

"I am happy all season. In the dressing room, I feel comfortable and have fun. I am happy and I believe it can be seen on the pitch," added the Real Madrid loan player.

"I'm not disappointed to be replaced. There are lots of games to come. It's important to keep getting minutes in every game."

The victory puts Tottenham in eighth place in the Premier League, six points adrift of West Ham, who occupy the final Champions League qualifying spot.

Spurs host Fulham on Friday, March 5, and Crystal Palace next Monday, March 8 before they turn their attention to their Europa League last-16 tie with Dinamo Zagreb.
