Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to close the gap on the league leaders over the coming weeks.

During a wide-ranging interview with Sky Sports, Spurs playmaker Christian Eriksen discussed his side’s season so far, and explained what he believes is their main strength.

The Dane has been in impressive form over the past few weeks, and his Tottenham side have won five games from their last six league outings, which, in turn, has taken them back inside the top four of the Premier League table, 10 points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.

And the 24-year-old sat down for an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, and described what facet of Tottenham’s game he has been particularly pleased with over this past month:

“It’s just that last season was new, and now people know. I think our biggest strength is to control the game, and finish the game off, not letting the other team in.”

Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been totally dominant in their last few games, and once again look like the team that ran Leicester City so close to the Premier League title last season.

They have scored 18 and conceded just four in their last 6 outings, a run that has firmly launched them back into contention for the league title.

A win against Chelsea at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night will be absolutely essential, however, if they are to remain as realistic contenders for the league title.
