United's Danish duo help see off Finland

Our no.14 was involved throughout the whole 90 minutes in Helsinki, with fellow United team-mate Hojlund introduced at the start of the second half.

Eriksen came close to opening the scoring after 19 minutes played at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, with his rasping free-kick well saved by Finland goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.

Operating out of his typically-creative number ten role for Kasper Hjulmand's side, the Red and Whites saw plenty of the ball but had to be patient throughout the encounter.

Denmark had to wait until the 86-minute mark to find the opener, with Wolfsburg's Joakim Maehle teeing up Spurs midfielder Hojbjerg to smash home a low drive from the edge of the penalty box, sparking wild scenes from the visitors bench in the process.
