Christian Eriksen's status as Denmark's top footballer was confirmed today, as the Dane scored a hat-trick to lead the way for the Danish Dynamite against Ireland.
This win gave Denmark the chance to play in their fifth-ever World Cup, and cemented Eriksen's status as one of the most underrated players of our time.
If you think we are blowing things out of proportion, have a look at these numbers.

Only Robert Lewandowski (16) and Cristiano Ronaldo (15) have scored more goals than Christian Eriksen (11) in UEFA qualifying. Astonishing effort from attacking midfield.

His first goal of the evening was an absolute stunner (Image may be geo-restricted).
Poulsen provides the pressure, Eriksen the magic.

What a counter attack by Denmark to take control of the tie. https://t.co/5yNtCg5QEY
Here's what fans around the world had to say after the player's scintillating performance.
Eriksen hat trick when his country needed it. Combine it with past two seasons at Spurs + work rate. Different level than Özil/Coutinho.

Christian Eriksen has stepped up to a new level entirely in 2017. A lot of people still don't seem to grasp how good he is. I suspect that will change after tonight.

The one consolation is that, having seen Eriksen do this, it would might have been wrong from a pure football perspective for an Irish side that plays like *this* to deny him the World Cup.

Even the legendary Peter Schmeichel took a bow!
Christian Eriksen is a superstar. 3 goals so far, still 15 mins to go #IREDEN #4-1
