Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen got on the score sheet and registered an assist as Denmark played out a 1-1 Nations League draw with Switzerland on Tuesday evening.

Remo Freuler gave the hosts the lead just before the half-hour mark. They had the advantage, but it was fleeting as Denmark tied the score a minute later.

Eriksen reacted quickly, winning a quick free-kick to send up Gustav Isaksen, who scored easily, with goaltender Gregor Kobel at his mercy.

Zeki Amdouni then scored from the penalty spot to guarantee that Switzerland was ahead going into the tunnel. Eriksen made sure that the rewards were shared between the two teams in the 69th minute of play by being in the right spot at the right moment to smash the ball into the net.

During the 90 minutes including added time that he was on the pitch, Eriksen had 59 touches of the ball to his name.

He successfully found his teammates with 35 of the 40 passes he attempted, managing an individual pass accuracy of 88%. Three of Eriksen’s passes were key passes.

The United no. 14 tried to find his teammates with six crosses and five long balls. He successfully connected with three crosses and as many long balls.

Eriksen created one big chance – for Isaksen’s strike.

The 32-year-old midfield maestro had four shots to his name, two of which were on-target and the other two off-target. He also completed the one dribble he embarked on.

Eriksen delved into three ground duels and came out on top all three times. He put in two tackles.

It’s certainly great to see Eriksen enjoying his renaissance both at club and international levels. He shared the pitch with United teammate and fellow countryman Rasmus Hojlund.

However, unlike Eriksen, Hojlund didn’t have the greatest of games and was taken off after 57 minutes.

The striker had 17 touches of the ball and successfully delivered 10 passes. He managed just one shot, which required Kobel to swing into immediate action.

The United forward prevailed in the lone ground battle he engaged in.

Eriksen and Hojlund’s focus is now solely on the club’s next Saturday matchup at Old Trafford against Brentford.
