The Danish playmaker executing a perfectly threaded pass to perfection for his partner in crime, Harry Kane to slot into the back of the net has been a regularity under Mauricio Pochettino. It was repeated against Manchester United as just four minutes after the break, Eriksen's perfect set piece was deflected smartly by Harry Kane for which De Gea had no answers.

The best thing about this goal was that this was Eriksen's ninth assist for Harry Kane in the past two seasons - the highest between any two players in the Premier League in this period. Eriksen has been under appreciated in his time in England but he has been performing brilliantly week in week out for the Lilywhites.

He helped Kane to finally break his voodoo against Manchester United as the prolific striker has now scored against 24 of the 25 that he has faced in the Premier League.
