Who needs Harry Kane when Christian Eriksen scores amazing goals like this?
The Dane scored two goals as Spurs swept Swansea aside in the FA Cup and earned himself a Gillette Precision Play award for this incredible strike.
It didn’t take him long either at the Liberty Stadium.
The quarter-final tie was just ten minutes old when Eriksen collected a pass from Erik Lamela and struck it from 22 yards.
Here we show you the goal in super slo-mo with all the vital statistics.
Eriksen launched the ball goalwards at an angle of 5.46 degrees, picking out his spot in the top corner.
The ball flew through the air at an average speed of 63.35mph before curling 23.6cm inside the post.
Swansea goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt came close to getting a hand to it but the shot passed the 6ft 3in Swede’s glove by just 8cm.
Eriksen added another in the second half after Argentine Lamela doubled Tottenham’s lead on 45 minutes.
Spurs effortlessly moved through into the semi-finals of the FA Cup after struggling against the likes of Newport County and Rochdale in previous rounds.
Spurs’ top scorer Harry Kane is out for a month after rolling his ankle against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
After the match Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said: "We are very happy with our performance, I am pleased for the players, and they were excellent.
"There is still a long way to go, we are now in the semi-final and even though we feel we are close, we are far away still.”
Spurs haven’t won the FA Cup for 27 years and have lost seven successive semi-finals.
