Eriksen Scores two free kicks to save spurs


Christian Eriksen scored a free-kick in each half as Tottenham twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

Andre Ayew opened the scoring in South Wales on 16 minutes with a superb header, but Spurs drew level as Eriksen's 27th-minute free-kick wrong-footed Lukasz Fabianski.

Harry Kane unfortunate own-goal then handed the initiative back to the Swans four minutes later, with the England striker slicing Jonjo Shelvey's corner beyond a helpless Hugo Lloris.
The second half continued in the same fashion as the first as both sides readily exchanged blows, before Eriksen's sumptuous set piece on 65 minutes levelled the game for the second time.
Spurs headed into the game in buoyant mood having won their previous three Premier League outings - the latest of which being 4-1 triumph over Manchester City- but it was the hosts who took an early lead.
Jefferson Montero, who was recalled back into the Swansea starting line-up, vindicated his inclusion as he made the most of a defensive error by Kyle Walker to set up Ayew to head in his fourth goal of the season.
