"I wish for him and his family the best. "Honestly, no one knew the possibility of Christian coming back to football. Eriksen has been magnificent for Brentford and now clubs who were too timid to do what Brentford did and offer him the opportunity to resume his career are reportedly preparing 'to swoop' in the summer, somewhat parasitically.

In being outrun and outfought twice in a week, Spurs have allowed their destiny to slip from their hands. Eric Dier’s mistake offered Eriksen a chance to shoot and the resultant corner caused further drama in the Spurs area, Kane having to head Pontus Jansson’s header off the line before Eriksen’s snap-shot was smuggled clear. Set pieces continued to be problematic for Tottenham. Toney’s header crashed off Emerson Royal’s shoulder and struck the crossbar in the 18th minute as Brentford forced a series of corners – six by the 22nd minute – that caused repeated discomfort. It was impossible not to consider how different matters might have been had Christian Eriksen been the Tottenham playmaker supplying his former teammates a quality of chance they struggled to find all evening.
