LONDON -- Christian Eriksen scored twice as Tottenham secured a much-needed 3-0 victory over Hull in the English Premier League on Wednesday.The in-form Danish midfielder scored twice to take his tally to five goals in his last four Premier League games and help revive the fortunes of a Spurs side that had won just three of its previous 13 games in all competitions going into this fixture.Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino chose to employ the 3-5-2 formation that has brought so much success to league leader Chelsea this season and was rewarded as his wing backs proved crucial in unlocking the dogged Hull defence.With Spurs having hardly threatened in the opening stages, Danny Rose was released by Jan Vertonghen down the left flank in the 14th minute and cut inside before finding Eriksen, who emphatically struck the ball into the roof of the net.Hull limited Tottenham to few clear openings for the remainder of the first half but was unable to mount a threat going forwards itself.Just as frustration levels were rising for the home side, a near identical copy of the opening goal came in the 63rd.Eric Dier chipped the ball forward for Kyle Walker on the right, who surged into the box and squared for Eriksen to tap home from just a yard (meter) out.Ten minutes later, Eriksen came within inches of a hat trick as his free kick was tipped onto the post by Hull goalkeeper David Marshall, but Victor Wanyama was on hand to convert the rebound.The north London side remains fifth in the standings, three points behind fourth-place Manchester City in the race for a Champions League slot next season.Hull, which has now won just one of its last 12 league fixtures, remains 19th, just one point above last-place Sunderland.

Tarik Cohen Bears Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. HOUSTON -- Houston Texans coach Bill OBrien was asked about Jadeveon Clowneys play this week, and for the first time in years the coach raved about the top overall pick in the 2014 draft.Hes playing well. He played really well (Sunday), OBrien said. He was one of our best players on our whole team.Clowney has shaken off two years of injuries to become one of Houstons most consistent players this season, and his transition to defensive end has helped the Texans absorb the loss of star J.J. Watt to injury.Clowney had a career-high four tackles for losses on Sunday to give him eight for the season, which ties his career-best and leads the NFL. While hes now listed as a defensive end, the Texans line him up in various spots on the line as well as at linebacker to keep blockers off-balance.Its been a difficult change for Clowney because playing end in a 4-3 scheme in college is vastly different than playing on the line in the NFL in Romeo Crennels 3-4 defense. At South Carolina, the 6-foot-5, 263-pound Clowney was bigger than almost anyone he had to block. But hes a bit undersized to play defensive end in the NFL, and when he lines up at tackle he faces offensive lineman that routinely weigh 60-70 pounds more than he does. This week he could have to block Colts right guard Denzelle Good, who at 355 pounds outweighs him by almost 100 pounds.But OBrien said Clowney makes up for his lack of weight in other ways.You can define size in a lot of different ways. Does he play big? He plays with a lot of explosiveness, OBrien said. Hes a very tough player. He plays with good leverage a lot of the time in certain situations. So look, does he weigh as much as some of the guys that he goes against in there? No. That could be said for a lot of different guys (but) I think hes playing at a high level.He has started every game this season, easily his longest streak in his NFL career. He didnt play more than four consecutive games in his first two seasons.Its a great feeling to be healthy and feeling good, Clowney said. Just getting better and better each week and hope I can sustaiin it for 16 games and keep going forward and keep getting better.ddddddddddddThough hes piling up tackles for losses, sacks have evaded Clowney and he has just two this season. Hes hoping to add to that total this week when he faces an Indianapolis line that has allowed Andrew Luck to be sacked an NFL-high 20 times this season.You want to get in there and make plays on him and get to him, he said. We have to come with a good game plan this week, go out there and rush and try to get to him.Some had wondered if Clowney was ever going to make the kind of impact he did during a three-year career at South Carolina where he had he had 130 tackles, 24 sacks, 47 tackles for losses and 20 quarterback pressures after his first two years in the NFL. So far this season hes proven that hes capable of being a disruptive force when hes healthy, and people around the league are noticing.Hes a different guy, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. The guy is playing as good as anybody in the league right now up front. Hes playing with a ton of confidence, a ton of physicality. We know the athleticism. We know the God-given dominant traits that he has as a football player, but his motor is running and its running hot. It never stops.Though he didnt like to talk about it, fighting through the injuries and hearing all the negativity weighed on Clowney. He is much happier now. In his first two years he was almost never in the locker room when reporters were present. Now he spends much of each availability sitting at his locker chatting with people and joking with players and reporters.He beamed when told about the compliments his coach gave him this week.Its special, its good, he said. My teammates noticed. He noticed. I just have to keep playing well. They come out and say: `We need you this week every week. I have to keep playing for my teammates and keep trying to make plays for the team.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
