Prising Ireland apart ‘like opening tin of baked beans with your bare hands’

Denmark’s Thomas Delaney described trying to break down Ireland’s defensive formation as “trying to open a tin of baked beans with your bare hands.”

His last name is Irish and his analogy for failing to break down the Irish defence might as well have been.

Former Glasgow Rangers player and Denmark legend Brian Laudrup co-commentator on Danish tv said Delaney and the rest of the Danish team were “left frustrated” after 90 minutes of coming up short against a strong and well-organised visiting defence.
