The great Dane was credited with both goals - the second also claimed by Harry Kane - as we held off a spirited Stoke side to make it six wins on the trot and 14 matches unbeaten in the Premier League.
The goals arrived in an 11-minute spell - Christian's finish from Dele's cutback (52 minutes), Mame Diouf's equaliser (57) and then what turned out to be the winner as Christian whipped in a trademark free-kick (63) that may well have taken a touch off Harry on its way to the net.
Nevertheless, all agreed that the win was all that mattered after an end-to-end final 25 minutes saw chances on the break for both teams and Stoke's Xherdan Shaqiri strike the crossbar.
