Christian Eriksen scored a wonder goal on his return to the site of his cardiac arrest horror on Tuesday night. The playmaker captained Denmark at the Parken Stadium, the ground at which he suffered a cardiac arrest during Euro 2020.
Eriksen was handed the armband by Kasper Schmeichel for the game, and capped off a stellar performance by scoring the third goal in Denmark's rout of Serbia. The Brentford midfielder pickled the ball up on the edge of the area before firing a low shot into the bottom corner.
The 30-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at the Parken Stadium last summer, and paramedics had to use a defibrillator in order to restart his heart. Many feared that, despite his recovery, Eriksen would never play football again, but the former Totteham Hotspur man returned to the Premier League earlier this year as he signed for relegation-threatened Brentford.
