Christian Eriksen is one of the Premier League’s best midfielders and after his showing against Liverpool on Sunday, it is easy to see why, especially with statistics to back up that point.
While Tottenham may have fell to defeat at Anfield, the Dane, who has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, played with his typical class and guile.

Eriksen set up Lucas Moura against Liverpool for his 10th assist of the season. Since joining Spurs from Ajax in 2013, he has created 58 Premier League goals
As Spurs mounted a second-half comeback, Eriksen set about leading the charge and it was he who laid the ball off for Lucas Moura to level the scores on 70 minutes.
That assist propelled the 27-year-old into elite company and meant he became just the second player to create 10 or more Premier League goals in four successive seasons, after former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham did the same between 1997 and 2001.

Beckham recorded 80 Premier League assists during his time as Man United player
The ex-England captain was famed for his dead-ball prowess and excellent passing, which helped him win six league titles, before leaving Old Trafford for Real Madrid in 2003.
But the question that remains to be answered, is whether Eriksen will do likewise and move to the Spanish capital at the end of the season?
