Tottenham Hotspur will be preparing for their London derby against West Ham United at the weekend.
Dele Alli has spoken in awe of the ‘unbelievable’ Tottenham Hotspur ace Christian Eriksen after he helped his side beat Brighton on Tuesday.
In a difficult night for the North London club, Eriksen produced a moment of quality one minute from time when his shot from outside of the area beat Matt Ryan in between the sticks.
Alli lauded what Eriksen did in the game and labelled the match-winner as a ‘maestro’ for winning a valuable three points for his side.
“He’s a great player,” Alli told Bein Sports. “He’s got unbelievable technique from the goals he’s scored and the assists he has made. He’s a maestro and a magician on the ball.”
Whilst Tottenham will want to do their utmost best in concentrating on their next match, which is against West Ham on Saturday, they will have one eye on their Champions League semi-final clash against Ajax next Tuesday.
It is arguably going to be their biggest game under Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure because a positive result could see them having one foot in the final.
But before then, they must see off London rivals West Ham, who will be hoping to dent their top-four chances, even though it is going to take some serious implosion from Pochettino’s side to finish outside of the Champions League places now.
The Hammers will go into the game on the back of conceding a late goal at home to Leicester City, which continued their indifferent form of late.
