Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur won against Swansea City in the FA Cup at the weekend.
Former Tottenham forward was impressed with Eriksen’s display in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Swansea away from home at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder, who joined Spurs from Ajax in the summer of 2013 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £11.5 million, scored twice in the North London club’s comfortable 3-0 win.
Crooks has included Eriksen in his BBC Team of the Week, as well as his Tottenham teammate and Dutch goalkeeper Michel Vorm.
Vorm, who has been on the books of Spurs since the summer of 2014 when he joined from Swansea for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Star to be worth £3.5m and earns £40,000 per week as salary at Tottenham according to Spotrac.com, played well in goal against his former club Swansea.
Crooks wrote about Vorm on BBC Sport: “Not only did Vorm deny Olsson what would have been a fabulous goal but the former Swansea keeper immediately popped up like a jack-in-the box to make a double save, this time from Tammy Abraham who was only six yards out. An excellent performance from Tottenham’s ‘second choice’ keeper.”
“This was an impressive performance by Spurs and in particular Christian Eriksen,” Crooks wrote about Eriksen on BBC Sport.
“Tottenham dominated Swansea and find themselves in the semi-final of the FA Cup for the second consecutive year.
“Meanwhile Eriksen strolled through this game with such consummate ease there were times you thought it was a training session.”
