2018 FIFA World Cup Football Group G England v Panama Jun 24th
Despite getting a hat-trick, Kane was not the group's best player!

Group C

FBL-WC-2018-MATCH22-DEN-AUS
Christian Eriksen guides Denmark closer to the RO16 stage

Group C saw the favorites France grind out a 1-0 win against a resilient Peru side, while Denmark were held to a surprise 1-1 draw by Australia. The lack of a flurry of goals from the French side meant that N'golo Kante was their best player, but once again he is pipped by a Dane - this time, Christian Eriksen.

This was Christain Eriksen's second contribution for Denmark after assisting their goal against Peru, and what a goal it was! After a brilliant assist from Jorgensen inside the box, Eriksen smashed the ball into the top left corner, and 10 times out of 10, Matt Ryan couldn't have saved it.

The Tottenham midfielder was also the most involved player of the team, operating everywhere from deep in the midfielder to taking corners for the team.
