Work on the Gareth Bale plinth continues unabated at White Hart Lane after the Welshman refused to celebrate scoring a goal against them in a friendly.

Tottenham fans should worry, too, after 19-year-old midfielder Delle Ali went on a nutmeg spree against Real.
Signed from MK Dons last season, this was the sweetest of Ali’s highlight reel moments. His victim here was Luka Modric.
Real will have noted the name.
