Christian Eriksen: Win was a huge boost for Tottenham

Christian Eriksen claims Tottenham’s battling win at Crystal Palace proves they are still right in the title race.

Spurs faced being six points off the pace until Eriksen’s long-range strike with 12 minutes remaining at Selhurst Park secured a 1-0 triumph and ensured the gap to leaders Chelsea is just four.

It was Denmark midfielder Eriksen’s eighth Premier League goal of the season, and he acknowledged it could be the most important. “Yes, it was a very big goal. We showed we’re still in it,” he said.
