Manchester United loanee Brandon Williams shares heartwarming moment with Christian Eriksen

Manchester United loanee Brandon Williams on Saturday shared a heartwarming moment with Christian Eriksen as Norwich City took on the Dane's Brentford.

With the Bees leading thanks to an Ivan Toney goal, Eriksen pulled down Williams to prevent him from breaking away. Williams quickly reacted angrily to being fouled and soon turned on his opponent to give him a piece of his mind.

However, on the realisation that it was Eriksen who brought him down, Williams' demeanour drastically changed. The 21-year-old instead gave the Denmark international a hug complete with a big grin on his face.

Eriksen started what was his first match back after suffering a cardiac arrest in last summer's Euro 2020 match between Denmark and Finland. It was made sweeter for him as his Brentford side ran out 3-1 winners at Carrow Road.

Toney completed his hat-trick for the Bees before Teemu Pukki grabbed a consolation for Dean Smith's side in stoppage time. The defeat left Williams' men bottom of the Premier League, five points from safety.
