Brentford boss Thomas Frank was delighted with Christian Eriksen's performance for victory at Norwich City.

The 30-year-old was impressive throughout Saturday's win over Norwich and topped Brentford's stats on all Opta's distribution metrics.

"We knew that we needed to build Christian right - it will take a few more games before he reaches the top standards he can provide," said Frank.

"You need to be out there, go the 90 and feel fatigued.

"You can see he just has that extra magic that no doubt will help us."

The win ended a run of nine games without success in all competitions for Brentford, who are playing in the Premier League for the first time.

Eriksen sent in the corner that led to the first goal, and had the most touches (67), attempted the most passes (46) and completed the most passes (38) of any Brentford player.

Frank, who managed Eriksen as a Denmark youth player, added: "It was a top delivery for the first goal. There were top passes when he tried to find players in behind.

"You can see there's more to come from him which is a positive. The ability he gives us is a big plus."
