The Tottenham Hotspur player is providing assists on a regular basis right now.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane took the plaudits after a quick-fire hat-trick against Stoke City on Sunday, but another Spurs player also continued his own superb form in the final third.
Christian Eriksen has now provided five assists in his last three appearances: two against Stoke, two against Fulham and one (along with a goal) against KAA Gent.
Goals are vital but the players who provide those chances week in, week out are like gold dust and the Danish international deserves all the praise that comes his way.
| Passing Accuracy | Key Passes | Goal Assists | Duels Won | Interceptions Won | Ball Recoveries | Touches | Tackles Won | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christian Eriksen | 77% | 7 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 81 | 1 | 90 |
The 25-year-old did not only lay on two goals for Kane on Sunday, he also set up five more scoring chances for his Tottenham teammates, proving emphatically that he is the creative catalyst in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
If Eriksen can maintain his recent form for the rest of the season, Tottenham could still push Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title, while potentially lifting the FA Cup come May.
There is still plenty of work to do but Eriksen is in brilliant form right now, and long may it continue.
