Tottenham midfielder Eriksen: Move aside Bendtner!

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has enjoyed a dig at former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner after his goal in victory at West Ham.

Eriksen scored Spurs' third in their 3-2 win at West Ham on Saturday, his 33rd in the Premier League.

That goal took him one ahead of Bendtner's tally of 32 for Arsenal and Sunderland as the highest scoring Dane in the Premier League era.

Eriksen told the Tottenham website: “I'm very happy I'm above Bendtner now, move him aside!"

He added: “If you look at the score we were in complete control and if we'd played the ball even better, we had even more opportunities."
