Christian Eriksen did manage to give Tottenham teammate Jan Vertonghen a black eye - but the incident was a training accident.

Eriksen rubbished rumours circulating on social media that Vertonghen had been involved in an affair with his wife Sabrina Kvist Jensen. An image of Vertonghen with a black eye had accompanied some of the posts, suggesting it was related to the unfounded speculation.

The Mirror says Eriksen was to blame for the injury in an accidental training-ground clash.

Both Eriksen and Vertonghen were involved on Tuesday night as Spurs were humbled 7-2 by Bayern Munich.

It was the first time in Tottenham's history they had shipped seven goals on home soil and extended their indifferent start to the campaign.
