Last Tuesday Tottenham played Barcelona in the Camp Nou for a place in the Champions League knockout stages. On Wednesday they face Arsenal in the League Cup semi-finals. A game against Burnley in front of a half-full Wembley, rain sheeting down and adding an extra chill to an already freezing Saturday, was always going to be what advertising types call “a tough sell”.
Thank the lord, then, for Christian Eriksen. For 90 minutes it was the sort of grim afternoon that might lead everyone present to question their life choices, the 0-0 scoreline to that point even less interesting than it might sound.
