Spurs, who endured a terrible start to their Group B campaign, were heading out of the competition as they were frustrated by a disruptive Inter side until Eriksen climbed off the bench to slam home an 80th-minute winner.
They are still outsiders to progress, however, and they will have to produce one of the most famous nights in the club's history if they want to do it, as they have go to group winners Barcelona in a fortnight and match the result of Inter, who play at home to PSV Eindhoven.
Although they were made to work hard by the Italian side, who came to do a job knowing a point would seal their qualification, they deserved the win as Harry Winks earlier hit the crossbar and Jan Vertonghen somehow headed wide from close range.
13 mins: GOAAALLL! PSG 1-0 LIVERPOOL (Bernat)
Terrible, terrible defending by Liverpool and they've gifted the lead to PSG, currently sending the Reds into 3rd place.
Liverpool fail to clear the ball, Van Dijk particularly susceptible with a sliced clearance and Bernat is allowed time to beat Gomez and scuff his shot beyond the flat-footed Alisson.
Probably a deserved lead.
Liverpool haven't scored away in Europe yet this year.
17 mins: Wijnaldum is booked after hacking down Neymar who goes down like he's been shot.
Free-kick in dangerous position.
18 mins: PSG 1-0 Liverpool
Taken quickly and Alisson just about deals with it.
24 mins: PSG 1-0 Liverpool
Late tackle from Marco Veratti on Joe Gomez only results in a yellow card.
Other refs may have been harsher...
Couldn't agree more but pretty impressive for them to be asleep in this noise.
Paris atmosphere is great as their stars control the game, thus far.
28 mins: Spurs 0-0 Inter
Alderweireld is booked for a cynical pull back but Inter are certainly causing problems.
The free-kick is pretty rubbish from Politano, mind you, and Spurs clear.
29 mins: CHANCE! Spurs 0-0 Inter
Sissoko shows a great burst of pace down the right side and plays it to the edge of the box where Son and Lamela lay in wait.
Both players leave it though and Lucas takes a rasping drive on first time but the keeper holds it cleanly.
30 mins: CHANCE! PSG 1-0 Liverpool
PSG continue to probe and Liverpool look in all sorts of trouble.
The French champions are moving through at ease and Neymar feed Mbappe who looks for Cavani in the middle.
Alisson makes a crucial interception or it was surely going to be two.
