(sabasports report)Denmark and England faced each other in a showdown at the European Championship, with four United players facing each other but only two Danes starting. Luke Shaw was absent through injury and Mejbri came on as an unused substitute. Eriksen and Højlund started for Denmark and helped them draw with England, but the 1-1 score was not ideal for either side as Denmark went into their final group game at the disadvantage.
After the game, the Danish media commented on Eriksson’s performance. Eriksson is undoubtedly still Denmark’s star player, although he did not score against England, but he showed full “ball intelligence” throughout the game. Bold gave him a high score of seven and praised his performance: “Eriksen once again gave a good game for the national team, he was involved in a lot of good attacking routines. We all know he’s a good shot, but England obviously know that too. Several of his shots were missed by the England players. However, he played an important role in helping Denmark win the midfield advantage.”
