Real Madrid's Gareth Bale Scores 43rd Liga Goal, Becomes Record British Scorer

Gareth Bale grabbed Real Madrid's third goal against Sevilla on Sunday night and, in doing so, snatched himself a piece of history.

The Welshman's goal was his 43rd league goal since joining the Spanish giants from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013, and it moved him ahead of former Barcelona and England striker Gary Lineker as La Liga's all-time leading British goalscorer.

Twenty-six-year-old Bale joined Madrid for a reported €100.8 million and scored his goals in just 76 appearances, some 27 games fewer than Lineker.

Not that the Match of the Day host was going to hold it against him:
