It’s worth starting off by stating that this was naughty from Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but Davinson Sanchez’s reaction is priceless.
The 21-year-old put in a great performance in Tottenham’s 2-1 win in Germany, as they secured top spot in Group H and will now look to build on this display.
In fact, Sanchez has been a real solid presence in general so far this season since his summer switch from Ajax, making 16 appearances in all competitions as he’s fitted in perfectly for Mauricio Pochettino.
As well as winning everything in the air against Dortmund, he kept things tight at the back aside from the goal on Tuesday night, but this incident has naturally gathered some attention.
A frustrated Aubameyang seemingly flicks out his hand in order to drag Sanchez away from him, but he ends up making contact with the back of his head. While the replay from a different angle shows contact, Sanchez’s reaction to it is hilarious as he goes down with real vigour and makes the most of it.
We’ll let you off Davinson given it was such an impressive display…

idiotic from Aubameyang to swing his arm but Sanchez’s reaction is Oscar-worthy, albeit late. pic.twitter.com/Mto2rRZTCN

Sanchez was barely touched there, if at all, but Aubameyang clearly swung his arm at him intentionally. And right in front of the official, no less.
