# Tottenham supports react to Christian Eriksen’s man of the match win

“Please stay” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans were pleased to see Christian Eriksen turn in a [Man of the Match](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1160522248920489984) display in Spurs’ [3-1 win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49215981) over Aston Villa.

Spurs were losing thanks to [John McGinn’s](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49215981) first Premier League goal, but on [64 minutes](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49215981) Mauricio Pochettino introduced Eriksen – and the Dane changed the game completely.

It was from [his cross](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AazxJVhfrno) that Tanguy Ndombele eventually blasted in the equaliser – and the 27-year-old’s also saw a [free-kick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AazxJVhfrno) brilliantly saved by Tom Heaton.

Eriksen supposedly turned down a move to [Manchester United](https://www.90min.com/posts/6427838-man-utd-call-off-christian-eriksen-talks-with-danish-star-not-interested-in-old-trafford-move) at the end of the transfer window – as he has his heart set on a [move to Spain](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/07/tottenham-christian-eriksen-favours-move-to-spain-over-manchester-united).

Of course, there is still time for him to leave Spurs – as the European transfer window does not close until the [2nd of September](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48965845), but with performances like this many Spurs fans are desperate for Eriksen to stay.

See the best of the reaction below.

However, many Spurs fans are pleading with Eriksen to sign a new deal – his [contract is up](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/profil/spieler/69633) at the end of this year, and many fans couldn’t bear to see him leave.
