This shocking miss for Denmark in their 2-1 defeat by Turkey last night, however, shows that Arsene Wenger was right to make the call.

After a flowing move, Spurs' playmaker Christian Eriksen dinked the ball through to Bendtner, and while the ball was slightly behind him, the striker's incredibly tame flick resulted him falling to the floor four yards from goal.
