Eriksen eyes home upturn

Christian Eriksen has set his sights on curing Tottenham’s White Hart Lane woe after getting the side out of jail at Hull.

Eriksen eyes home upturn

Spurs’ rocky first season under Mauricio Pochettino appeared to heading for another low ebb at the KC Stadium on Sunday when they went in at half-time 1-0 behind.

But the dismissal of Gaston Ramirez for kicking out at Jan Vertonghen changed the tone with playmaker Eriksen, pictured, at the heart of the visitors’ revival.

Harry Kane levelled matters and Eriksen earned a 2-1 success in the 90th minute when he found the bottom corner.

The turnaround nudged Tottenham into 10th place in the Premier League standings, but better is still needed at home, where Pochettino’s men have lost four times in six attempts.

“We can take a lot of good things and a lot of confidence with us from this game,” said Eriksen.

“Every game is different and we still have to work hard and improve a lot of things.

“Of course we know they (home fans) expect more and we do as well.

“We always want to win when we play at home and if we don’t they are not happy — it’s normal We just need to play better at home.”
