The pair said he was immediately checking the reaction and praise for his match-winner.

: “He was quick on his phone today.”

And : “Ha ha, that was him! He just had to see. He has a good kick. He just needs to kick from outside when he has those chances.

“Of course, there are also good chances that the reactions will spill over onto the mobile phone when you score the decisive goal.”

And it might be quite pertinent that Denmark’s Hojbjerg was quick to look for praise during a difficult period at his club side, Tottenham.

The 28-year-old has found himself out of the first eleven having been with an exit this summer.

Denmark’s Hojbjerg was Tottenham towards the end of the window in order to pave a way for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher to arrive.

However, as mentioned Hojbjerg was not keen on a late move to Fulham and the deal therefore .

It must be a difficult time for the Dane at his club right now, a player who has been so key under previous managers.

And Tottenham fans may wonder if Hojbjerg’s emotional celebrations for Denmark after his goal were in part due to his frustrations at the club.
