Tottenham in good position to finish above Arsenal after not backing down to Chelsea – Eriksen

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has stated that his side are well on course to finish above fierce rivals Arsenal in the Premier League table.

Spurs may have missed out on the Premier League title following a disappointing 2-2 draw against Chelsea on Monday night but they will now surely be keen on ending the season on a strong note in order to finish above North London enemies Arsenal – a feat they have not managed in over 20 years.

Eriksen is well aware of the importance of achieving a higher finish than the Gunners and has stated that his side is confident of getting the job done during the final two matches of the season after going toe-to-toe with other London 'big brothers' Chelsea, indicating that perhaps there is a changing of the guard in the capital.

The Danish international said: "It means a lot for the fans and it means a lot for the club as well if that happens. We're in a good position for that to happen.

"It has normally been Spurs backing down. Luckily we turned it around and were able to play an even game. More for us in the first half. But it was an even game and it ended, unluckily for us, even."
