The impressive Jack Colback, playing in an unfamiliar full-back role, denied Adebayor a close-range chance inthe 52nd minute when he blocked a ball into the box by Modric.
Adebayor was caught narrowly offside as he attempted to scissor-kick home a lofted ball from Van der Vaart, then Bale headed onto the roof of the net from a cross by Assou-Ekotto.
