Eriksen delighted to help Brentford to victory at Norwich

Christian Eriksen was delighted to help Brentford to victory at Norwich City.

The Dane started a Premier League game for the first time since 11 January 2020, when he featured for Tottenham at Liverpool.

"I'm very happy, I'm pleased to be back playing 90 minutes. It's been a long time but it went very well," Eriksen told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Thomas [Frank] asked me this morning if I felt OK to play 90 minutes and I said for me that's no problem.

"It gets easier every day and playing a full game obviously helps.

"Personally, for me, it has been about getting back to full fitness and being able to play football at the top level again. Then let's see where that takes me.

"Obviously, I am here to help Brentford to stay up and get my own football career back on track.

"I wouldn't say it was a new chapter - it is just my life continuing. Thank you to all the people and family I have around me who supported me - I am pleased to be here."
