Tottenham ace Eriksen: No tactics, just heart and fight

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen says their Champions League victory at Ajax was about 'heart and fight'.

Lucas Moura's hat-trick saw Spurs win 3-2 and into the final 3-3 on the away goals aggregate.

Eriksen said: "It was a ridiculous game, we were really far down, we tried to fight back, we were just lucky, I feel sorry for Ajax, they played a very good game against us, today we mostly created more chance, football they played better, it is relief, we have been fighting for this, it is a dream to be in the final.

"We felt like we weren't able to look ourselves in the mirror if we were to go down three or four nil. We had to fight, we scored early to get some momentum, put them under pressure. We are lucky the ball falls in the right direction, Luca had a wonderful game we are relieved

"Today it was non tactical, more of a fight and a heart performance, heart and Lucas Moura, he's how we won the game, he deserves it, rollercoaster of a season, for him to get us in the final, I hope he gets a statue in England after this, we are blown away, no real words for it, I feel sorry for Ajax, in the end think about ourselves, not deserve it more, got there in the end."
