Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen has never hit an international hat-trick before.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has expressed his delight on Twitter, after scoring a 10 minute hat-trick for Denmark against Bulgaria earlier today.
Eriksen was in fine form as Denmark picked up an impressive victory in the international friendly.
The 24-year-old first curled in two shots from the edge of the box, before completing his hat-trick with a simple finish from close-range.
Denmark failed to qualify for Euro 2016 this summer, but this victory was an encouraging one for the future.
Eriksen was delighted with his contribution to the match, and he expressed his happiness on social media site Twitter after the game.
Eriksen has never before scored an international hat-trick. The attacking midfielder has now found the net nine times in 60 appearances for his country.
Eriksen will now have the summer to rest, before returning to Spurs – where he will be expected to have a key part to play next term.
Eriksen is one of Tottenham’s main creative influences, and he remains central to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans for the future at White Hart Lane.
