Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has talked up the dead-ball abilities of Christian Eriksen following the club's 2-2 draw away at Swansea City.

The Danish midfielder twice converted free kicks at the Liberty Stadium to ensure that Spurs were able to take a point from the game, having twice gone behind to the hosts in Wales.

"He is a very important player for us and if you give him chances to shoot he can have an impact on the game," said Pochettino, according to eurosport.co.uk.

"He is one of the best at dead-ball situations, it is hard to say he is the best but he is one of the best.

"He has natural ability but he also spends time working on it. They were great free kicks, he has quality when he shoots and delivers a free kick."

Tottenham currently hold eighth spot in the Premier League table after eight games played.
