VINES: Nobody freak out but Nicklas Bendtner scored a hat-trick for Denmark tonight

The Illuminati must have played some part

If there’s anything the Premier League misses more than Alex Ferguson tapping his watch, it’s the phenomenon of Nicklas Bendtner.

Lord Bendtner (to use his proper title) is leaving a world of football fans in disbelief after he fired home a hat-trick in Denmark’s 3-2 victory over the U.S.A. tonight.

Danish fans would have been anxiously watching through their fingers when a chance like this arrived at the feet of Bendtner but the former Arsenal man made no mistake to level the tie.

And Bendtner equalised once more when a bouncing ball was walloped home by the 27-year-old in the 83rd minute.

Of course, he wasn’t going to settle for two like any mere mortal would do. He scored his third to give Denmark the win with a genuinely impressive goal from just inside the box after showing off a touch that Arsenal fans never had the chance to see.
