Christian Eriksen has mixed start to life at White Hart Lane following his arrival late in August. In his debut match against Norwich, he was the man of the match. Later he netted a Europa League victory against Norwegian team Tromso.

He, however, lost his spot in Andre Villas-Boas' side to Lewis Holtby following a dip in his form and had only returned to starting team before he got injured.
