Eriksen vs Williams - A foul that ended with smile
In the 40th minute of the match, Eriksen was involved in a duel with Brandon Williams and eventually pulled him down to inflict a foul. Williams had no idea who the opponent player was, at that time, and he was visibly angry with the tackle.
When both the players fell down, this is when the Norwich player realized that it was Eriksen who had fouled him and in matter of seconds, the anger had turned into smile with both players giving each other a quick hug instead. Well, it was indeed hilarious but heartwarming!

Eriksen was given a yellow card for his foul but much to everyone's delight, there were smiles all around.
