Spurs looked like enduring a disappointing comedown from their midweek high in Barcelona as they struggled to break the Clarets down at Wembley.
But Eriksen, introduced from the bench, won it in the first minute of time added on when he coolly clipped home.
It was no more than Spurs deserved, as they missed several chances to have the game wrapped up before then, but they got the job done and cemented their place in the top three.
For Burnley it was another away defeat and they continue to hover above the bottom three.
GOAL! Watford 1-0 Cardiff (Deulofeu, 16)
A bit of magic from the Spaniard who jinks one way, onto his left foot, feints to shoot, but has the composure to jink once again and bring it back on to his right foot.
He then has enough about him to put it past Etheridge and give Watford the early goal that'll help them settle.
Deulofeu slotting it beyond Etheridge and celebrating after his moment of magic...
GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester City (Milivojevic)
What a strike from the Serbian!
Townsend plays the ball across the box to the Palace skipper. No one chooses to close him down and his crisp shot from 25 yards finds the far corner.
Leicester need to respond.
He's a central midfielder.
Don't know whether that's a good thing or whether it shows how poor their forwards are....
HALF TIME:
Palace 1-0 Leicester
Huddersfield 0-0 Newcastle
Tottenham 0-0 Burnley
Watford 1-0 Cardiff
Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth
Not many goals so far but Palace, Watford and Wolves take narrow leads into the break.
And we're back underway in the 3PMs.
Are we going to get a glut of goals in this second half?
The weather is absolutely bucketing it down across the country.
Perhaps this is why we're so low on goals at the moment.
Or maybe I'm just trying to make an excuse.
GOAL! Watford 2-0 Cardiff (Holebas, 52)
Another beauty from the Hornets as they look safe and secure.
Deulofeu finds the full back who curls a beauty into the top right corner.
They can play some really impressive stuff sometimes and they look to have done so again, today.
GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Newcastle (Rondon, 55)
What a fantastic team goal from the Magpies.
Perez spots Manquillo's run inside him, and the Spaniard, 25 yards out doesn't need a second invitation to curl a pass around the Huddersfield defenders to find Rondon's late run at the far post.
Newcastle have had very low possession in their game but the two best chances in the half and now they've opened the scoring!
