Christian Eriksen: Brentford midfielder's touching Tottenham reunion

Christian Eriksen's return to football has been one of the feel-good stories of the season and he was once again the subject of an outpouring of emotion on Saturday as he faced his former club Tottenham for the first time.

The 30-year-old, who spent seven years at the north London club and helped them reach the Champions League final in 2019, was given a rapturous reception from all four sides of the ground before, during and after the game at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Before kick-off he embraced some of his former team-mates in the tunnel, including striker Harry Kane and defender Eric Dier.
