Christian Eriksen played stunning pass in brilliant display on first Brentford start
Christian Eriksen inspired Brentford to victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon.
Thomas Frank’s side have been in poor form in recent months.
Going into the match in Norfolk, Brentford had not won in the Premier League in eight games, a span lasting just over two months.
Their poor run had seen them slip towards the summit of the table and in danger of relegation.
But Brentford returned to winning ways with Eriksen, making his first Brentford start, pivotal as they emerged 3-1 winners.
The Dane was terrific from start to finish. He played a huge hand in The Bees’ opening goal.
The 30-year-old’s corner was flicked on by Kristoffer Ajer and Ivan Toney converted from close range at the back post.
Toney would go on to complete his hat-trick later on in the game.
Eriksen has been away from the sport for so long after suffering a cardiac arrest in Denmark’s Euro 2020 match against Finland in the summer.
But he’s showing that class is permanent with an impressive start to his career at Brentford.
Shortly after his hand in the opener, Eriksen played a quite exquisite pass to find Sergi Canos in the box. View it below…
Yeah Eriksen still has it, look at this pass
