Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has expressed his satisfaction following his side’s 4-1 win over West Ham United in the London derby on Sunday.
In-form striker Harry Kane hit a brace while defenders Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker both chipped in with a goal.
Manuel Lanzini scored a late consolation goal for the Hammers after a superb run and finish.
Dele Alli and Ryan Mason hit the woodwork for Spurs, while Cheikhou Kouyate’s acrobatic volley crashed against the crossbar.
Eriksen believes that Spurs could have won the game with a healthier margin considering the huge number of attacks that the north London side mustered.

The midfielder, who racked up two assists during the game, highlighted the fact that everyone wanted to get on the scoresheet.
Speaking in an interview with the club’s official website, Eriksen said: “We took the chances that we had, we got a bit of luck on one or two, but we scored four goals and could have scored more.
“I think everyone wanted to score. Everybody got in the right positions and we made sure we took the opportunities we had so we’re all pretty satisfied with the result.
“The third goal was probably the most important because you know when you’re 2-0 up anything can happen.
“But we got ourselves on top and when we scored the third goal we showed we can finish it off how we’re supposed to.”
