Roy Keane hilariously made reference to Denmark's infamous 5-1 victory over Ireland in a brilliant interview with Christian Eriksen this afternoon.
Eriksen joined the panel to chat about his player of the match performance in an excellent display in Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Arsenal. The former Spurs midfielder played an instrumental role in the buildup to United's first two goals before laying the ball on a plate to Marcus Rashford for United's third.
And when he popped over to the Sky crew to speak about the game, Roy Keane couldn't help but bring up that awful night in Dublin when an Eriksen inspired Denmark crushed Ireland's hopes of reaching the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

"I have no questions to ask you because I'm still upset over Dublin when you scored for Denmark," Keane joked.
"I'll pass you on, because I'm still upset with you."
Keane's comments left the Sky panel in stitches with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Paul Merson and Gary Neville all having a chuckle at Keano's comments. Not to be outdone, United's new midfield maestro had a brilliant comeback of his own.
"I thought so," quipped Eriksen in response to Keane's comments.
"It was a good night out in Dublin afterwards as well."
Quick as a flash, Keane replied with a cheeky "I bet you did," before Sky presenter Dave Jones regained control of the segment.
The game the two were referring to took place in November 2017. Ireland took an early lead through Shane Duffy and for about 15 minutes, everyone in the country believed that The Boys in Green might actually make it to Russia.
But then Eriksen turned on the style, banged in a hatrick and delivered a hammer blow to Martin O'Neill. A little over a year later, the Keane and O'Neill era came to an end, but that night in 2017 is regarded by many as the true end of the road for that team.
