Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg rushed to the aid of a collapsed man outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night as the midfielder was confronted with another distressing health drama.
The 26-year-old Spurs midfielder — who was playing for Denmark when his team-mate Christian Eriksen suffered his harrowing collapse at Euro 2020 — was praised by worried onlookers in the moments following the 3-0 defeat by Manchester United, racing out of his car to offer his help to the stricken individual on the perimeter of Tottenham’s home ground.
Having played the full 90 minutes against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, whose emphatic victory cost Nuno Espirito Santo his job, Hojbjerg encountered the upsetting episode as he drove out of the stadium and stopped after seeing the man.
