Christian Eriksen and Mesut Ozil, they are two 2013-2014 playmaker imports that were expected to light up the English Premier League as they have both shown times of brilliance and times of disappointment. And since the arrival of them both, a debate has been going on between the two clubs' fans; Eriksen vs. Ozil, who is better? Fueled by the rivalry between the two North London teams, this debate has been heatedly argued by both sides, claiming they are the ones with the better midfielder.
Tottenhan Hotspur beat English Premier League side Fulham 3-1 in a London derby on Saturday. This win sees Tim Sherwood's side gain some important three points as they moved six points clear of seventh-placed Manchester United.
This win was inspired by the Spurs Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen as he saw himself bag a brace of assist, setting up Paulinho and Kaboul for the first and third Tottenham goals of the night. This latest performance from the former Ajax star has reignited the debate of whether Eriksen is better than German ace Mesut Ozil, with many Spurs fans taking to Twitter to express their opinion on who is better.

Eriksen is so much better Ozil it's actually beyond a fact.

Anyone who still thinks £40m for 25 year old Ozil is better value than £11m for 21 year old Eriksen is a moron.

Fans are actually making a debate on #Eriksen and #Ozil. There is no contest, only thing he has over Mesut is set pieces.

@SpursGuide @CescZidane_ Eriksen has only managed to catch up with Ozil, thanks to the latter's injury, is what you're saying.
