Christian Eriksen scored moments after entering as a substitute for Denmark against the Netherlands on Saturday night to make a dream return in his first international match since his cardiac arrest during the European Championship in June.

The Netherlands won the match 4-2, but the result of the friendly seemed almost irrelevant to the crowd at the stadium where Eriksen first rose to prominence for Ajax. “To be back here is always beautiful. I had many beautiful years here,” Eriksen, told Dutch broadcaster NOS. He said he still often thinks of the night he collapsed in Copenhagen against Finland. “It’s part of me. It’s part of the world,” he said.
