'It should be a good Christmas' - Eriksen grateful to get Burnley winner

Christian Eriksen was a relieved man after coming off the bench to net the winner as Tottenham edged past Burnley to stay in touch in the Premier League title race.

The north Londoners barely threatened throughout the 90 minutes at a wet Wembley in a hangover from their Champions League draw at Barcelona in mid-week which saw them progress to the knockout round of the competition.

Mauricio Pochettino brought on Son Heung-Min and Eriksen for the closing stages and the move paid dividends when the Denmark international thrashed past Joe Hart from Harry Kane's lay-off.
