JAKARTA - Three goals recorded by Gareth Bale brought Tottenham Hotspur closer to the top four of the Premier League standings after overtaking Sheffield United with a score of 4-0 in the Week 34 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Sunday local time (Monday western Indonesia time).
The three Bale's goals were recently followed by a beautiful goal scored by Son Heung-min to complete Tottenham's victory while taking them up to fifth with 56 points.
Tottenham jumped over West Ham United (55) who had played a day ago and Liverpool (54) whose match against Manchester United was postponed because supporters broke into Old Trafford on Sunday night.
As for Sheffield (17), the defeat did not mean anything, because a few weeks earlier they were confirmed to be relegated to the second caste, according to Antara's report according to the official Premier League website.

Despite continued pressure, Tottenham was only able to break the deadlock in the 36th minute when Bale finished Serge Aurier's pass with a crooked shot over the head of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The advantage was almost doubled in the third minute of first-half injury time by Bamidele Alli, unfortunately, his curling shot from outside the penalty area was still secured by Ramsdale.
Six minutes into the second half, Son fired a powerful shot to beat Ramsdale at the near post area, but the goal was immediately ruled out as the South Korean was caught offside.
In the 61st minute, Tottenham finally really doubled their lead when Bale thundered into the top right corner of the net, beyond Ramsdale's reach.
Eight minutes later Bale completed his hat-trick with his composure to convert Aurier's pass to widen Tottenham's lead to 3-0.
In the 77th minute, Son also officially listed his name on the scoreboard after avoiding George Baldock and curling a shot that gave Ramsdale no chance to anticipate.
At the end of the match, Sergio Reguilon should have been able to complete Tottenham's win to five blanks but his curling shot was still sideways and the score was 4-0 unchanged until the end.
In the next fixture, the two teams will play together on Saturday, 8 May, when Tottenham visits Elland Road to face Leeds United and Sheffield hosts Crystal Palace at Bramall Lane.
