Meslier's unlikely advisor, Leeds United supporters' Toney taunts and moments you missed

Kristensen’s compatriots

If you were to handpick a Premier League side where Rasmus Kristensen might have some opposition friends to talk to it would be Brentford, where links with Denmark are long-established.
