And he was left with a cut above his eye after clashing heads with an opposition player.
Hojbjerg, 25, shrugged it off in trademark style, however, standing tall despite the streaming cut.
And fans online were absolutely loving his ‘hard man’ status.
One wrote: “Højbjerg is a warrior playing like this losing blood”.
While another added: “Pierre-Emile Højbjerg just is that guy isn’t he.. and that’s why I love him. Absolute brute.”
A third wrote: “Hojbjerg didn’t even flinch”.
To which another responded: “He is wired differently than the rest”.
Spurs’ comfortable win was the Dane’s ninth appearance for his new side after transferring from Southampton in the summer.
