Goal reports that Eriksen has now singled his own teammates for blame following their humbling defeat away from home.

Speaking after the match, the Denmark international conceded that the players were solely responsible for the result.

"A big disappointment. We just had an off-day and we weren't in it. It is what it is," Eriksen told BBC Sport. "We can't really change the injury things," he said.

"We have to do what we can on the pitch to change it. Today it didn't matter who we played. Everyone could have done better. I don't know what the conclusion is for how it went. We weren't good enough. We tried to do what we could but we were not good enough. We'll take the blame as players," he added.
