Christian Eriksen: A Never-Ending Love Story of Eriksen and Denmark
Christian Eriksen incredibly scored with his first touch to get his side back into the game at 3-2. A clever team move allowed Andreas Skov Olsen to move into the Netherlands penalty area before he pegged the ball back for Eriksen to smash a first-time effort into the top corner.
The 30-year-old spent three years playing his home football at the same stadium while representing Ajax. Remarkable return to international football.
