Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino hails ‘fantastic’ Christian Eriksen after victory over Manchester United

Mauricio Pochettino hailed Tottenham star Christian Eriksen’s ‘fantastic’ performance after scoring one of the fastest goals in Premier League history in a 2-0 win over Manchester United.

The Dane was named man-of-the-match at Wembley after a dazzling display, which he kicked off with the opening goals just 11 seconds after kick-off.

Eriksen’s goal is the third-fastest the Premier League history - Spurs legend Ledley King’s unlikely record of ten seconds is still intact – and the Tottenham boss was full of praise for the midfielder.

Refusing to talk about new signing Lucas Moura, who was paraded on the Wembley pitch at half-time following his £25million deadline day move from Paris Saint-Germain, Pochettino instead hailed his players who outplayed a strong United side, with the victory putting them just two points off the top four.
