Gareth Bale has registered his first FA Cup goal since January 2013 – a whopping 2,942 days since his last.
Bale found himself on the scoresheet late in the first-half of Spurs FA Cup tie with Wycombe Wanderers.
Wanderers – who are bottom of the Championship – went ahead in the the 25th minute when Fred Onyedinma slotted home from close range.

The lead came against the run of play after José Mourinho’s men squandered some good opportunities to go ahead.
Thankfully for the Premier League outfit Gareth Bale was on his toes in the 47th minute when he tipped home from close range after a good Lucas Moura cross into the box.
