The England striker guided his side to a home 3-0 victory against Tottenham hours after footage emerged appearing to show him being knocked out cold by Bardsley in a sparring session in his kitchen.
The England striker celebrated the third goal by shaping a series of boxing punches before falling over on his back.

"You've seen today, I've done a professional job and helped my team win 3-0."
