Tottenham ace Christian Eriksen becomes the leading Premier League goalscorer for his nation... overtaking Nicklas Bendtner to join the likes of Paulo Wanchope and Nolberto Solano

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen was able to celebrate a notable national milestone on Saturday.

The 25-year-old's goal in the 3-2 win at West Ham made him the highest-scoring Dane in the Premier League - overtaking none other than former Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner.

Eriksen, who has now scored 33 league goals since he joined from Ajax in 2013, has now joined a long list of footballers who stand as the leading goalscorers of their nation in England's top flight division.
