Two-goal scorer Gareth Bale says that Spurs have next year's Champions League in their sights after they cemented third spot in the Premier League at Norwich this evening.

Gareth Bale has said that Spurs are firmly targeting a top-four finish come May after securing third spot for the New Year this evening.

The Welsh winger scored both goals as Spurs dismantled Norwich City at Carrow Road.

Harry Redknapp's men tasted Champions League football one year ago but failed to retain their place in Europe's elite last time out.

Speaking after this evening's victory, the 22-year-old said: "You have to keep grinding out chances and hope one will come for you and it did.

"We learned a lot from being in the Champions League and I'm improving all the time.

"It was a great few days for us, we've took advantage of other teams dropping points. Our main objective is to get back into the Champions League."

Spurs moved four points clear of London rivals Chelsea and are seven points behind the Manchester duo at the top of the Premier League.
