His form earned him a spot back in the Danish national team and that&#8217;s where the fairytale truly started.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off the bench against Netherlands in Denmark&#8217;s first game, Eriksen needed just a few minutes and one touch to score his first goal since returning to football, an excellent strike from inside the area.<\/p>\n<p>He then started as captain in their next game, against Serbia at the Parken Stadium and found the net once again, the first time he had scored in back-to-back games for Denmark since October 2020. No Netherlands nor Serbia player could deny Eriksen this moment.<\/p>\n<p>But Eriksen wasn&#8217;t done there, as it was he who put Brentford ahead in their historic win at Stamford Bridge. After Vitaly Janelt had cancelled out Antonio Rudiger&#8217;s opener, Brentford countered quickly from a Chelsea corner and Eriksen was there at the end of it to put his side ahead, his third goal in three games for club and country.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/news\/chelsea-odds-to-win-premier-league-21-22\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chelsea odds to win Champions League and more<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/champions-league-outright-odds-21-22\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Champions League 2021\/22 outright odds<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&#8220;Christian Eriksen is quality on the ball and has been excellent since he has been in our changing room,&#8221; Rico Henry told BBC Sport after the game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is on fire at the moment and long may it continue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1255216\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-66x65.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-999x999.jpg 999w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/04\/02171214\/1255210_1255210_chelsea-1-4-brentford-breakdown-330x330.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was Brentford&#8217;s first win over Chelsea since February 1939, and also continued the Blues&#8217; poor recent run at the start of April.
