The all-action attacking midfielder got the nod from Mauricio Pochettino to line-up against Juventus in the Round of 16, first leg - his first start in the competition since the trip to Bayer Leverkusen on 18 October, 2016.
However, it looked like it was all crashing down around us as Juve forged a 2-0 lead inside 10 minutes with Erik’s fellow Argentine Gonzalo Higuain on target twice. Remember, the Bianconeri went into the game having conceded just one goal in 16 matches.
Undeterred, we fought back and dominated possession. Harry Kane reduced arrears on 35 minutes, Higuain crucially missed a penalty in added time and we were on top again in the second half when Christian Eriksen fired home a free-kick for 2-2.
