Eriksen fires Tottenham into Cup final

CHRISTIAN Eriksen was Tottenham Hotspur’s ice-man as it suppressed a late revival from third-tier Sheffield United to reach the League Cup final 3-2 on aggregate on Wednesday.

Tottenham, which will face Chelsea in the final at Wembley on March 1, appeared to be cruising when it took a first-half lead through Eriksen’s stunning free-kick, taking its aggregate advantage to 2-0.

Sheffield United teenager Che Adams came off the bench, however, to turn the tie on its head with two goals in two minutes, giving his team a 2-1 lead and levelling the aggregate score.

Eriksen ensured the four-time winners Spurs avoided extra time when he found space on the edge of the lower league side’s box with two minutes remaining and calmly slotted home.
