Antoine Griezmann Reacts On Twitter To Daniel Sturridge’s Assist Vs Leicester City

Dimitri Payet appeared to have wrapped up the assist of the season award – if only it existed, eh? – with his incredible rabona for West Ham against Watford on Saturday.

But Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge has given the Frenchman a serious run for his money with an exquisite back-heel for Sadio Mane’s goal against Leicester City this evening, according to GiveMeSport.

Sturridge played the ball into Mane’s path with a gorgeous touch – and it impressed many people on Twitter, including a certain Antoine Griezmann.

The Atletico Madrid star, who scored two goals in a 4-0 win over Celta Vigo earlier on Saturday, was watching the action back in Spain.

And shortly after Mane’s goal, the France international tweeted his appreciation for Sturridge’s assist.

Griezmann tweeted:

“Waaaaaaouuuuu Sturridge !!!! ”

Waaaaaaouuuuu Sturridge !!!! 😎👀
