- I was considering using Eriksen behind Lukaku, but decided not to change things too much, as it is important for us to play with two attackers. Eriksen also had its problems lately with Tottenham, and it requires much of you. I have even been playing, so I know it will take him some time to fall to, said the Conte.

Inter was 2-0 down at the break, but won 4-2 after a stunning performance in the second half. After Christian eriksen's indskifting was the Danish star close to scoring a true drømmemål directly on the free kick, but had to see his attempt bounce off the crossbar.
