Christian Eriksen scored the final goal in a hugely exciting Premier League clash between Swansea City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Andre Ayew opened the scoring for the hosts with a first half header before Christian Eriksen bagged his first goal, a clever free-kick that wrong footed the Swansea goalkeeper.
Harry Kane’s freak own goal saw the Swans re-take the lead. Garry Monk’s side dominated the opening stages of the second half and could have easily gone 3-1 up. But Christian Eriksen levelled things up with a second free-kick, this one even better than the first.
It was a good point for Spurs in a match that could have easily gone either way. Here’s how Twitter reacted…
Christian Eriksen has now scored 8 Premier League goals from outside the box since the start of last season, more than any other player.

Superb energy levels. Very unlucky to be going home with the points. Very frustrating

Good performance; deserved 3 points. Needed to be more ruthless. We were a freak goal away from a very good win. #COYS

Cracking game. Neither team deserved to lose. Two superb goals by back-to-form Eriksen. #COYS

Fair result? Should have won it. At least Kane is scoring again.

FT: 2-2. Pure Premier League – why people love it, but why football in other countries is more complete. Spurs had the chances to win it.

Unbeaten in 7, coming back from behind twice & on the back of a Europa league fixture, again plenty of positives, Liverpool next up!

Never mind not quite but a decent point all the same after Europa, COYS

Point away after a tough European tie. I'll take it. &Let's not meltdown over Andros. Still v dangerous on his day – sadly wasn't his today.

Spurs are 5 points and a +9 goal difference ahead of last seasons champions. Pochettino is the special one. #coys

Such a fustrating game to be at! Should've won but suppose a decent point after Europa mid week #COYS

Mention for Walker: looked like he'd get the runaround from Montero but held his nerve and position the more the game wore on

People need to have patience and support the boys like you have done all season really clear plan now from poch.

LDDDWWWD. All four of the draws could, and probably should, have been wins. Lots of positives to take but a case of "what if?" #THFC

I'll take a point, we're still on the longest PL unbeaten run. still joint best defence. Chris is back scoring.

Christian Eriksen bailed us out though really. He seems to be coming back into form, not just free kick wise. He was centre of attacks #COYS

Unbeaten in 7, a positive goal difference & only conceding a goal every 1 in 2 games ….. #unspursy #thfc #coys

Result wasn't what we wanted but a massively encouraging performance. Subs worked well. Confident. Gonna win the league.

Rather unlucky. Twice now we’ve helped the opposition with their scoring, but football is a swings and roundabouts game. On a different tack, noted Jamie Carragher spouting on about Liverpool becoming like Spurs in a somewhat derisive manner. It struck me the other day that Carrragher is becoming like Keith Lemon, along with Merson and the other Spurs hater Lawrenson. A win over Liverpool next time out will be just the response to Carragher’s insults!
Levy out. I stick bagels up my bumbum. My followers are freaks. I’m an annoying wanker.
