VINE: Christian Eriksen strokes home purrfect Spurs winner

The Dane lashed home from the edge of the box to take home all three points

Spurs were fortunate to claim all three points away to Hull but there was no arguing with the Dane’s winner

Hull hit the front against Tottenham after former player Jake Livermore crashed home a low pile-driver. Hugo Lloris did well to keep the score at 1-0 when he got down well to prevent Robbie Brady effort.

The hosts were then livid when Gaston Ramirez was harshly sent off for flicking an innocuous boot at Jan Vertonghen. Spurs got back in the contest when Eriksen rattled the post with a free-kick and Harry Kane tapped home the rebound. The visitors pressed for the winner in the final 25 minutes and were rewarded when Eriksen dispatched this final effort from the edge of the box.

The win moves Tottenham up to 10th but they are just two points off the Champions League spots.
