CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN got over Spurs having their pants pulled down by Man City by spreading the news he'll be changing nappies in 2018.
The great Dane was part of the Tottenham team spanked 4-1 by Pep Guardiola's Premier League leaders on Saturday afternoon.

But he cheered himself by sharing the news he is a father-to-be with an Instagram post showing off his scan with partner Sabrina Kvist Jensen.
The playmaker captioned the happy snap: "Mum & Dad to be ❤️ #proud #2018"
Last year the Denmark international admitted it was tough living in London for his girlfriend while he had a full-time job that took up so much of his time.
And now he will have to find even more hours in the day for late-night feeds, nappy changes and winding.
Eriksen said: "You have to learn how to cope physically and mentally, but I can handle the pressure and the demands because I live seven days a week for my job.
"That is very tough for my girlfriend. Of course I would like to go out in the city with her and friends, but it just doesn't fit in with playing in England.
"Every three or four days I have to perform at the highest level and I have big ambitions and dreams to be a success here."
Manager Mauricio Pochettino thought his mercurial midfielder was struggling with fatigue in November when his side started to fall away in the title race.
But he clearly had enough energy to create a new little Eriksen. Poch said: "A player like Christian Eriksen maybe can be a little bit tired.
"But it's mental more than physical, because in the last international duty he played two amazing games to try to qualify for the World Cup, and he cannot rest, he cannot stop.
"Maybe he struggles a little bit but his condition is fantastic because after every game the stats are unbelievable from him. But maybe I can agree that there may be some mental tiredness. It's maybe possible."
