Sam Lammers dispossessed Eriksen, who had made a risky turn under pressure and fired past André Onana in the 68th minute.
United manager Ten Hag refused to single out Eriksen, instead insisting the whole team had to take responsibility for their failure to hold onto the lead.
“We kept them alive; 1-0 up, controlling the game you have to be consistent and keep going. In the second half, we dropped the level and gave the goal away,” Ten Hag said.
“We didn’t finish it off; we had to go for the second goal, and so they stayed alive and we got punished by a mistake from ourselves.”
Pressed on Eriksen’s blunder, Ten Hag added, “The goal was a team mistake; a player from Twente can dribble through the pitch without stopping. We can’t give a goal away like this.
