Thor Jensen: Christian Eriksen doing a Messi. An incredible hattrick when Denmark needed it the most. What a player
Republic of Ireland 1-4 Denmark
A chance for Shane Long to get a goal back as he is put through on goal. Kasper Schmeichel is quick off his line to close down the gap, forcing Long to attempt the lob... but the ball lands on the roof of the net.

It's a sad end to the Republic of Ireland's qualifying campaign but Christian Eriksen deserves to be at the World Cup. He's been involved in 14 goals in qualifying (11 goals and three assists). That's 10 more than any other Denmark player.

Don't make a mistake, don't make a mistake, don't make a mistake.... oh.
A shocker by Stephen Ward as he fluffs his first touch as he attempts to deal with a ball into the box. Ward is off balance and by the time he can recover the excellent Christian Eriksen is on it in a flash to thunder a rocket of a shot into the net.
That's the hat-trick. Game. Set. Match.

Final change for Republic of Ireland with Shane Long entering the fray. Too late, arguably, to change the outcome of this match.

Another change for Denmark as Yussuf Poulsen goes off. Applause from the away end, where the pocket of Danish fans are having a ball, a few probably checking their phones for hotel prices in Russia.
Striker Andreas Cornelius is on in Poulsen's place.
