The Dane came on as a substitute when his new club Brentford lost 2-0 at home in the English Premier League against Newcastle to thunderous applause from the crowd, and some players also gave him high fives on the pitch. The midfielder had not played a competitive match since suffering cardiac arrest at the European Championship against Finland in June.
Meanwhile, Manchester United suffered a setback in the battle for Champions League spots. The record champions only drew 0-0 at home against the penultimate Watford and are fourth in the table, two points ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal, who have three games in hand. At Watford, ÖFB team goalie Daniel Bachmann sat on the bench. A goal by Cristiano Ronaldo was rightly disallowed.
Before kick-off at Old Trafford, United’s players and coaches held up a sign that read ‘Peace’ in several languages, including Russian and Ukrainian, and featured a peace symbol. The Watford players then joined and posed with the hosts and the message of peace for a joint photo in reference to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Tottenham had previously won 4-0 at Leeds United. Matt Doherty (10th), Dejan Kulusevski (15th) and Harry Kane (27th) made everything clear for the guests from London early on. Son Heung-min scored another goal in the 84th minute for Tottenham, who celebrated their second win in a week (3-2 at Manchester City, 0-1 at Burnley) in their third away game in the league.
