Eric Dier targets more goals

Eric Dier is hopeful that he can score more goals this season after finding the net in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw with Stoke City.

Tottenham Hotspur's Eric Dier has admitted that one of his targets for the season is to deliver more goals.

Dier scored for the first time in almost a year as Spurs wasted a two-goal lead on the way to a 2-2 draw with Stoke City at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Despite the disappointing end result, the 21-year-old is hopeful that he can continue to make an impact in front of goal after being used in midfield by Mauricio Pochettino in the first two games of the season.

"This season, I want to score more goals. I know if I keep playing in midfield and keep doing well I'll hopefully have more chances," he told the club's website.

"I think I can do better from set-pieces and get in better positions. Last season I could have scored a few more goals so this season, hopefully I'll get past two."

Spurs are back in action against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
