Spurs boss Sherwood: Eriksen just like Bergkamp

Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has likened Christian Eriksen to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp.

The Danish international produced a composed finish in the fourth minute of added time to snatch an unlikely draw at West Bromwich Albion.

And rather than choose a comparison to a hero from White Hart Lane, Sherwood reached for the former Holland striker to describe the cool head displayed by the 22-year-old.

"Bergkamp-esque," said Sherwood. "You want someone to rush those chances as an opposition manager but unfortunately when it lands to him you know he's going to be ice cold.

"Once he cut inside I knew the net was catching the ball."
