Summary

Host Richard Cracknell was joined by Lee McQueen and Antony Costa on this edition of the Last Word On Spurs. Gareth Bale scored a brilliant hat-trick as Tottenham shook off their Carabao Cup final misery and kept alive their Champions League hopes with a 4-0 win over relegated Sheffield United. Bale's 36th-minute opener, a fine instinctive flick from close range, was scant reward for Spurs' first-half dominance, but though Heung-Min Son saw an effort after the break (52) ruled out for offside, the Welshman would strike twice more legitimately and emphatically. Bale brought up his 50th Premier League goal shortly after the hour mark when he was set up by Son on a Spurs breakaway and hit a fierce third without breaking stride (69) to fire a further reminder of his enduring potency. The Blades, for whom John Fleck escaped punishment after a VAR review after catching Giovani Lo Celso on the head, had twice built momentum before conceding but Bale's third goal ended their fleeting resistance and Son completed the rout with a brilliant curled finish 13 minutes from time. #THFC #COYS #TOTTENHAM #HOTSPUR #TOTTENHAMHOTSPUR #SPURS Learn more about your ad choices.

0:30.0	Hello and welcome to the last word on Spurs. I am Richard Cracknell standing in for Ricky
0:51.1	Sachs. Think of it as a little look into the future if Spurs was to join the ESL. This
0:56.8	is what you'd be getting instead of the traditional Ricky Sachs or something like that. Terrible
1:02.0	analogy. I'll crack on. One giant to say is it'll be terrible. It'll be absolutely terrible. Anyway,
1:12.9	looking back, believe it or not, to an absolutely superb performance, I thought, and a superb
1:19.5	win and actually talking about Spurs playing some football and winning. Can you believe it? And
1:26.3	joining us to look at that bottom of my screen on the Zoom, not that you can see because you're
1:33.7	all listening is the one and only train driver. Is that train back on the tracks yet Mr. Lee McQueen?
1:40.5	Getting on crackers and obviously as well and all the listeners. It's not back on. It's
1:49.0	crashed. It crashed at the cut final for Sean and we can't rebuild it yet. But what I would say
1:53.7	is it's a weekend. I'm not grumpy. My family have not had the grumpy Lee McQueen floating about.
2:01.1	And Gareth Baal got a hat trick and any clown that says that he shouldn't have started the cut
2:05.9	final, including our current injury manager. Well, he's a, but he showed what he can do. And I
2:16.7	don't care about getting carried away and getting ahead of ourselves. Another stuff to deny is
2:21.4	all about chatting about a win, a four-neil win. And it feels nice to win a football match and
2:27.9	that's all we can do in it crackers. Doesn't it just doesn't it just and didn't your little
2:33.9	speech at the end of the last pod talking about how it makes you feel resonate with people
2:39.9	across social media. The amount of feedback we had about it and Lee, you're not alone and Lee,
2:46.0	I'm the same and I just can't keep letting them do this to me like that. But, hey, you know,
2:52.6	take, take your kicks where you can and enjoy this one, isn't it? Yeah, and actually it's a great
2:58.2	shout out because, you know, for everybody that mentioned, I mean, it was huge amount of
