Christian Eriksen insists Tottenham Hotspur can bounce back from defeat at Arsenal with a key Champions League victory at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

"We have shown in the big games that we can compete," said the 25-year-old Denmark attacking midfielder when asked if Spurs lack the right mentality for big-games.

"We beat Liverpool (4-1) at home for instance.

"People need to talk, they need to write.

"First it was 'they'll never win at Wembley', but we don't hear that any more."

Spurs crashed 2-0 at Arsenal on Saturday, crashing down to earth after their dazzling 3-1 win over holders Real Madrid at Wembley in the Champions League three weeks ago.

That romp left them top of Group H and a win at struggling Dortmund will see them advance as group winners, having also drawn in Madrid.

"We had a disappointing day on Saturday and this is our chance to show we are better than that," said Eriksen.

"It is going to be a very important game.

"We know we are already through, but it would mean a lot to go through as group winners.
