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.
36 mins: GOAL! PSG 2-0 LIVERPOOL (Neymar, 36)
They're running riot this evening and they could have even more but they've doubled their lead through the Brazilian.
He's now got 41 goals in the Champions League in 52 matches.
The speed and accuracy of the attack was lethal as Mbappe feeds Cavani. His shot is blocked by Alisson but the rebound falls at the grateful feet of Neymar who tucks it away!
Liverpool need to sort this out, and fast.

Nainggolan cannot continue so Borja Valero replaces him.
Former Baggie, some of you might remember.
45 mins: GOAL! PSG 2-1 Liverpool (Milner)
From nowhere, James Milner gives Liverpool the lifeline they needed right on the stroke of half time.
Lots of histrionics from the PSG players but it was a pretty clear penalty for a foul on Mane.
PSG 2-1 Liverpool
SPURS 0-0 Inter Milan
The two biggest games of the evening have been starkly different and neither is going the way of the English side at the moment although Liverpool may feel like they have more momentum, scoring right on the brink of half time courtesy of a James Milner penalty.
Spurs meanwhile need to up the ante otherwise their trip to the Nou Camp will be for nothing more than pride.
Plenty to play for in the second half.
49 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED! PSG 2-1 Liverpool
A good free-kick from PSG finds Marquinhos in the box who prods it beyond Alisson but to the relief of all in Liverpool red, the linesman lifts his flag up for offside.

Apart from the disallowed goal, Liverpool have started this half slightly better.
That said, free-kick in a dangerous position for PSG.
