Man United duo Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund were started as Denmark beat Kazakhstan 3-1 at home in the UEFA European Championship qualifiers.

Both Reds played pivotal roles across the goals, helping the Danes make it five wins from seven in Group H, where they sit in second place and are only behind Slovenia on goal difference.

Eriksen’s free-kick proved the catalyst for the opener. Eriksen’s floating free-kick was nodded into the path of the goalscorer by Joachim Andersen before Wind swivelled and cushioned the ball into the back of the net.

While Hojlund provided an excellent assist for Robert Skov to make it two. Eriksen’s floating free-kick was nodded into the path of the goalscorer by Joachim Andersen before Wind swivelled and cushioned the ball into the back of the net.

Skov completed his brace in the second half, thanks to a sublime Eriksen pass as Denmark ran rampant in Copenhagen. Eriksen executed a sublime pass over the opposing backline to his onrushing team-mate, who edged ahead of his defender before burying the ball in the back of the net.

Elsewhere on international duty was defender Jonny Evans, who captained Northern Ireland to a 3-0 victory over San Marino in Belfast.

Our no.35 played 63 minutes before being rested as part of a triple substitution, at which point his homeland were already two goals to the good.

Morocco, meanwhile, left it late to equalise against Ivory Coast in a 1-1 affair, but Reds midfielder Sofyan Amrabat was not involved in that encounter.
