Watch: Eriksen hit with coin during post-match interview following goalscoring Denmark return

The midfielder came off the bench to score in his country's friendly loss to the Netherlands, but was lucky not to be hurt after the final whistle

Christian Eriksen was hit with a coin during his post-match interview following a goalscoring return to international duty with Denmark on Saturday.

Eriksen came off the bench to a standing ovation in the 52nd minute of Denmark's friendly clash with the Netherlands at Johan Cruyff Arena, and marked his first appearance for his country since suffering cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 with a goal.

Denmark ultimately lost the match 4-2, but the Brentford midfielder expressed his delight at reaching another personal target after the game - until he was interrupted by a flying object thrown from the stands.
