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.

Counter attacking opportunity for the Italians but between Icardi and Politano, they fluff their lines.
57 mins: CHANCE! PSG 2-1 Liverpool
Nervy moments at the back for PSG as Kimpembe chose to turn in to trouble inside his own box and for all the world it looked like Liverpool might get a scruffy equaliser but PSG hold on.
They'll want a third to get some breathing space again soon.

Veratti gives the ball away in midfield and the ball is worked towards Salah on the right handside and he cuts in on to his left foot and strikes the ball on goal but it is blocked once again.
Comes out to Robertson who crosses for Firmino but his header goes out for safety.

Spurs are just not creating enough and Inter seem happy with the point at the moment, and who can blame them?

Tuchel not happy on the touchline.
A weird feeling to this game and the French champions need to re-wrestle control of this game.
Kind of relinquished it in the recent stages.
Nerves perhaps.
Di Maria and Edinson Cavani are replaced by Dani Alves and Eric Choupo Moting for PSG.
The latter was playing for Stoke City last season.
Liverpool fans might recall him scoring twice against Manchester United...
Eriksen replaces Erik Lamela and stands over a free kick right away...
71 mins: WHAT A CHANCE! Spurs 0-0 Inter Milan
Vertonghen is coming in at the far post following a cracking free-kick from Eriksen but he just doesn't connect properly and nods it wide.
Spurs need to press more.

Marquinhos rises above everyone but his header is right down the throat of Alisson who manages to push it clear.
