# Tottenham Hotspur: Many fans are frustrated after Christian Eriksen’s assist for Denmark

**It looked as though Denmark were heading to a draw against Switzerland in their Euro 2020 qualifier, until Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen made an intervention.**

In the 84th-minute, the 27-year-old played a sublime reverse pass for Yussuf Poulsen, who strode forward with the ball and placed it past Yann Sommer, as shown in the highlights video on the Sky Sports Football [**YouTube channel**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhMv16B86qY).

This result was vital for Denmark, as it puts them in [**second place**](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=denmark+euro+2020+qualifiers+group&oq=denmark+euro+2020+qualifiers+group&aqs=chrome..69i57j33l5.11097j1j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=t;/m/02s2lg;2;/m/0zdsnbj;st;fp;1;;) in their group, four points ahead of Switzerland, who have a game in hand.

Spurs sent out an update on Eriksen’s performance on their official [**Twitter account**](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1183082486399688705):

However, many fans weren’t congratulatory, as they saw this as more of a source of frustration than anything else.

Many of them have grown increasingly tired of the Denmark international, [**wanting him out of the club**](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/tottenham/tottenham-hotspur-many-fans-want-christian-eriksen-to-leave-in-january/) as soon as January comes around.

Seeing him make a difference for his country has only added to this feeling, especially following events such as his penalty miss in the Carabao Cup loss against Colchester United.

A selection of Twitter reaction to the assist, including posts from frustrated Spurs fans, can be seen below:
