Pierre-Emile Hoybjerg was at his best for his tenacious Tottenham Hotspur team last night in Israel’s 2-0 World Cup qualifier victory over Denmark.
Hojbjerg played the full 90 minutes in the Dane’s victory, proving his worth to club and country.

His numbers last night were similar to what Spurs fans saw week after week after his £15m signing from Southampton (sky sports) in August.
WhoScored.com The record Hojbjerg completed 6 interceptions, just 1 less than all his teammates combined.
The Spurs’ 102 touches were the most of any player on either side, underscoring the impact he had on the game.
Hojbjerg also scored with 3 tackles and 9 accurate long passes.
The midfielder is more ambitious in possession than he was at Tottenham, completing as many dribbles (twice) as anyone in the red shirt.
Hoybjerg is Mourinho’s main force
This is typical of Hojbjerg, who has become a key cog in Mourinho’s machine, albeit inconsistently.
The 25-year-old has yet to miss a minute of a Premier League game this season and is one of only four outfielders to be able to achieve this tireless achievement.
Hoybjerg was sorely missed in Tottenham’s Europa League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

The stunned Spurs didn’t seem to have bite or leadership — exactly the virtues that Hojbjerg brought to the team.
The wicked have no rest
When domestic football resumes, Tottenham fans will be hoping their steadfast midfielder will be available before the end of the season.
Until then, they’ll be biting their nails nervously, with Hoybjerg safe from Denmark’s next two World Cup qualifiers, against Moldova and Austria.
But even after the league is over, Hojbjerg’s action won’t stop.
He will be a key figure for Denmark at the European Championships this summer. The Danes aim to repeat the heroic deeds of their predecessors in 1992.
