'Some good movement. Some one against ones, beating people, attacking people, creating chances. Of course, scoring a goal.
'Apart from that, I never felt he couldn't play the 90 minutes. I never felt that I needed to change him and that is good.
'Of course, the Championship [Wycombe's division] is a good, competitive level and the aggression is high and the intensity is good. So I'm happy.'
Bale completed a full match for the first time since rejoining Spurs in September, having suffered from knee and calf injuries and a series of minor issues.
