Christian Eriksen was credited with a brace as Harry Kane was denied a crucial goal in the Golden Boot race in Tottenham's 2-1 win over Stoke at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday.

Eriksen broke the deadlock in the second half before scoring direct from a free-kick which appeared to just evade Kane's head, preventing the Spurs striker from claiming a 36th goal of the season and moving four behind the Premier League's leading scorer Mohamed Salah. In between Stoke had levelled through Mame Diouf. Meanwhile at Goodison Park, Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton.
