‘Unbelievable’ Christian Eriksen lauded by Brentford boss Thomas Frank after stunning win over Chelsea

Thomas Frank hailed Christian Eriksen for his “unbelieavable character” after the midfielder helped deliver Brenftord a famous win at Chelsea.

The Dane hit the winner in a 4-1 comeback romp at Stamford Bridge, capping the latest moment of his comeback from a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

Having scored twice on his return to Denmark action in the week, Eriksen popped up to finish off a counter-attack and put Brentford in front on Saturday in between a Vitaly Janelt brace.

Bees boss Frank admitted that he had never expected the ex-Tottenham star to find form so quickly after a long spell out of the game.

“Christian is a top player, an unbelievable character and he brings quality and calmness to the team,” Frank stated post-match.

“You can give it to Christian and he'll always find a solution.

“From the beginning I thought, ‘Everything has been checked in his entire body’. He didn't have an injury like an ACL and when he took that decision that he wanted to play in the World Cup, that determination [of] 'I want to come back into football' [was there] and his foundation physically was quite good.

“We never knew how quick it would take to get to this level but it's impressive how quick.”
