Inter, who needed a point to qualify for the Round of 16 in Tottenham, had to break in the 80th minute after a superb job by Moussa Sissoko.
The win brought the London club to seven points in second place in the second set, tied with the Italian team, but Tottenham beat the opponent by direct confrontation.
The team of coach Mauricio Bucetino will make a comeback that would not have been possible if she had beaten the Barcelona leader in his last match at the next Camp Nou or at least achieved a result similar to the Inter facing PSV Eindhoven.
Eriksson and Sun Hyung-min, who both beat Chelsea 3-1 on Saturday, were sitting on the bench and their late participation was crucial.
But French midfielder Sissoko, who has not been modest since his transfer for 30 million pounds ($ 38.48 million) in August 2016, has been the key to breaking the defense of the United States. Italian team.
As the final ended, Tottenham headed to the penalty area and sent a deep pass to Dili Alee, who showed his brilliant look with a pass to Ersken that hit Samir Handanovic.
"Our goal was to win and our next opponent is Barcelona," Eriksson said. "It will be a difficult but enjoyable task and we know what we are playing for."
"Inter Milan came out to defend tonight, we knew that it would be better to score a point than to lose it and when you play against the Italian teams, you do not have much of it. opportunities, "he added. "Fortunately, I took advantage of my luck and kept our goal."
The best moments of Tottenham in the Champions League were opposed to the Italian teams, especially during their first appearance in the 2010-2011 season, where they beat their country at Inter Milan and Milan at San Siro before getting qualify for the quarter-finals.
But there are disappointing times against the same teams, especially when they lost 2-1 at home against Juventus in the round of 16 not to reach the quarter-finals.
The season is a 1-0 win over Inter in the first game before Mauro Icardi and Mathias Vicino tilt the ball to lose the London team and start an attempted return.
Harry Kane scored two goals against PSV Eindhoven to give Tottenham his first win in the group and give him hope, but the win over Inter gave him control of everything.
* Delayed intervention
Tottenham dominated the first period and shot a volley over the goal, saving the shot from Lucas Mora, Inter's keeper, and then moving away from Cescoko and Harry Winx hitting the crossbar.
Internazionale also had chances, but substitute Borja Valero lost the best after a brief injury to Radja Naingolan, while Tottenham was lucky not to have sent Eric Lamela following a rash intervention against Marcelo Prozovic.
Tottenham was struggling to beat Inter in the second half and a Jan Freton header off the court after a superb free kick by Eriksson in the 75th minute seemed to be over.
Defender Hugo Lauris saved an opportunity for Croatian striker Ivan Prisic before Eriksen shakes the net to pave the way for what appeared to be a memory night against Barcelona.
"It will be a difficult match, but we think we can win," said Pocetino.
