Tottenham midfielder Eriksen pleased to prove matchwinner

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen was pleased to prove the matchwinner against Burnley.

Eriksen fired Spurs' injury-time winner on Saturday.

The Dane said, "It was very important. It's been a tough but fun week with everything we've gone through - going through in the Champions League which we wanted and now a tough game against Burnley with difficult conditions, a difficult team to play against. It was great to come off the bench and help the team win the three points.

"Any player who comes off the bench wants to have an impact on the game, trying to create something, trying to score or assist and luckily today I got the goal to get the three points. It was a very nice feeling."
