Tottenham Hotspur went to penalties for the second pre-season match in a row today, following their win over Bayern Munich in Germany last week.
Paulo Gazzaniga was the hero that day, with the likes of Harry Kane, Heung Min Son, Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp, and co slamming home penalties.
However, there has been one consistent zero for Tottenham over the two shootouts, and he goes by the name of Christian Eriksen.
The Dane stepped up to take a spot-kick against Bayern in the Audi Cup final and tamely side-footed it down the middle into the keeper’s hands.
Today, Eriksen stepped up with a point to prove and yet again hit a lazy side footer slightly to the keeper’s right-hand side.
With his future at the club still up in the air with just a year left on his contract, some fans have not taken too well to his back-to-back penalty misfires.
Get him out smh

Clearly no one wants eriksen either. He was only ever 4th on Madrid’s list why go their. Now Man Utd are thinking why go their. He is better off signing a new contract and getting his head down. Clearly he is not first choice for any clubs
