HARRY KANE vowed to go “all guns blazing” in Barcelona after Tottenham were given the Chris of life at Wembley.

Late Eriksen strike keeps dream alive and sets up do-or-die clash against Messi & Co

Christian Eriksen came on to ram home the winner with just 10 minutes left to see off Inter Milan.

It means Mauricio Pochettino’s men must now go to Barcelona next month for their final Group B game

THEY just about kept it alive. And now all Spurs need is a miracle in the Nou Camp.

Christian Eriksen rescued it for Tottenham and possibly spared Mauricio Pochettino’s blushes for not starting him.

But this Spurs side never give up and, now even with the odds stacked against them, it would be incredibly foolish to write them off. After their topsy-turvy Champions League campaign, they at least took it to the last game, although going to Barcelona and needing a win to ensure they progress would seem a daunting task.

But at least they are still in with a shout of reaching the knockout stages thanks to Eriksen’s late intervention after he came off the bench and provided an 80thminute winner (above).

It was far from Tottenham at their best but the fact they ground it out says much about their spirit and Pochettino’s clever use of his substitutes to break down Inter’s stubborn resistance.

He gambled big on his win-or-bust encounter, with Eriksen (left), Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son left on the bench. Eriksen not starting perhaps raised the most eyebrows.

The Denmark midfielder is so often the orchestrator on big European nights and is vital to the way Spurs play.

Yet that allowed Harry Winks to step up to take responsibility and he did so, pulling the strings in midfield, picking passes and finding openings to launch attacks as Tottenham tried desperately to break down Inter.

But the visitors, under the management of Luciano Spalletti, looked every inch the classic Italian team, defending deep in great numbers. Harry Kane was a

strong presence as he led the line, Dele Alli was menacing, while Lucas Moura made dangerous runs into the box.

But for all Spurs’ efforts, Inter held firm.

Alli fired just over from 20 yards, Moussa Sissoko’s powerful run helped set up Lucas but the Brazilian shot straight at keeper Samir Handanovic.

Winks went closest in the first half with a 20-yard shot which crashed against the crossbar.

Tottenham had to go for broke after the restart and began to push further forward, which left gaps at the back.

Inter beat them in the San Siro in the first game in the group and yet Pochettino’s men were unlucky that night to lose. But the Italians have clearly improved a lot since then.

They were strong in defence, dangerous on the counter attack and, in Mauro Icardi, have a player of real quality and he led the charge every time.

It took a brilliantlytimed Jan Vertonghen challenge to stop Ivan Perisic’s low cross reaching Icardi. The danger was beginning to grow.

Finally, Pochettino decided to change the mood by bringing on Son for Lucas and inject some much-needed pace into an attack which was beginning to run out of ideas.

Eriksen quickly followed, replacing Lamela after 70 minutes and he provided some much-needed magic with his very first touch. He put over a precision free-kick to the back post and there was Vertonghen ghosting in. Yet, inexplicably, the Belgium defender glanced wide (below).

It was becoming a tense end-to-end battle, with Perisic’s near-post shot brilliantly saved by Hugo Lloris. Finally, the breakthrough came and it had to be Eriksen, whose introduction had such an impact. Sissoko drove forward into the box and Alli’s clever lay-off allowed Eriksen to fire home from 15 yards.
