Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas believes Gareth Bale should be named Premier League player of the year after he grabbed the winner in the 3-2 victory at West Ham.

The Wales international, who had earlier fired the visitors into a first-half lead, netted a stoppage-time winner at Upton Park as Spurs hit back from 2-1 down to grab all three points and go third in the table.

The result has left Spurs at1.53to finish in the top four this season, while Chelsea can be backed at1.25 and Arsenal at1.90.

When asked if he felt Bale could win the player of the year award, Villas-Boas replied: "I think so, it would be truly deserved, but it is not up to me to make that consideration.

"But you have to recognise he's having a tremendous season. So he is probably a contender. He is a great, great talent and to see him keep trying in the last minute exemplifies the talent that he is.

"Taking the ball, receiving it, getting fouled in between, getting up - he has got stick for staying down - but he gets up and gets on with business and managed to score a great goal."
