Norwich defender Brandon Williams made a hilarious U-turn after realising the player who had just taken him down was Christian Eriksen.

Eriksen, who was making his first start for Brentford in the crunch clash at the bottom of the Premier League table following his cardiac arrest last year, hauled Williams down as he tried to break away with the ball.

As they fell to the floor the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was pushed by the Manchester United loanee who was angry about the cynical nature of the challenge.

However, Williams quickly changed his tune after coming face-to-face with Eriksen as he wrapped his arms around him and gave him a hug.

Eriksen outstretched his arm in bemusement before Williams helped him to his feet and they both ran away laughing.

The moment was a hit with football fans who appreciated the respect shown to the Danish international who suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

One said: "One of the nicest moments I’ve ever seen in football history."

"I'm laugcrying," joked another while a third added: "This is some heartwarming Barclays content."

"There’s gonna a lot special treatment for Eriksen and rightly so tbh. Him playing again after what happened is elite," replied one supporter.

Another wrote: "I’m a players beating the s*** out of each other fan but this is class."

Eriksen received a standing ovation upon his return to action as a substitute in Brentford's clash against Newcastle United last month.
