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.
