Tottenham Hotspur hit another bump in the road in their search for a top four finish by dropping points for a second consecutive week in their 0-0 draw at Brentford on Saturday, with Christian Eriksen having a big part to play against his former side.
The Danish midfielder has been a revelation at the Bees since signing in January on his comeback to football following cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, and he may now have dealt a crucial blow to Antonio Conte ’s Champions League hopes.
Eriksen may have performed on the pitch against his old club, but he also had a huge impact off it by assisting Thomas Frank with his preparations for the game and catching out Tottenham ’s predictability.
