Denmark had to wait until the 86-minute mark to find the opener, with Wolfsburg’s Joakim Maehle teeing up Spurs midfielder Hojbjerg to smash home a low drive from the edge of the penalty box, sparking wild scenes from the visitors bench in the process.

United’s summer signing Hojlund did well during his 45-minute cameo and stretched Finland’s backline throughout, marking his 8th cap for his country with victory in Group H.

That result means Denmark leapfrog Finland at the top of the table, making it two wins from two during September’s internationals, following on from Thursday’s 4-0 win over San Marino.
