Inter midfielder Christian Eriksen’s prowess with long-range strikes was highlighted by analytics provider Opta via Social Media.

The Denmark international struck the equaliser in the Nerazzurri’s 1-1 draw against Napoli in Serie A yesterday, taking his tally since joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 to 24, level with Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho and Hakan Calhanoglu of AC Milan.

Barcelona and Argentina icon Lionel Messi remains some way ahead though, having netted an incredible 59 long-range goals in the eight-year period.

“24 – Christian Eriksen has scored 24 goals from outside the box in the top-5 European Leagues since he joined Tottenham in 2013/14: only Lionel Messi (59) has more in this period. Range,” Opta tweeted.
