Brandon Williams Finally Reveals Why He Hugged Christian Eriksen During On-field Tussle

Speaking to Sky Sports, Brandon Williams explained: “It was a moment that just happened.

“It was instinct. I got past him [Christian Eriksen] and I felt him pull me down. We were on the attack and I was really angry.

“I was going to hold him but then, you know what he’s been through. It’s incredible, what he has done [to get] back now.

“It was something special for him to be back on the pitch, for himself, and to be involved in that, I felt like he needed a hug.”
