Mauricio Pochettino admits that Christian Eriksen’s early goal was a huge help in their win over Manchester United. 

The Dane opened the scoring after just 11 seconds at Wembley as Spurs cruised to a 2-0 win over the Red Devils.

It was one of the quickest goals in Premier League history, and the Spurs boss couldn’t hide his delight.

“I’m very happy. Congratulations to the players. It was a great performance.”

“We always try to be aggressive from the beginning. Our aim is to be focused from the beginning. You can win a game if you’re ready to fight. It was massive to be up early in the game.

“Three more points puts us in a very good position to fight for the top four. I’m sure new signing Lucas Moura enjoyed that a lot.”
