IAN DARKE had Twitter in stitches on Wednesday night with his description of Antoine Griezmann.

The BT Sport commentator seemed to run out of superlatives for Atletico Madrid's star striker after he scored his second of the night against Marseille.

Darke described Griezmann as "an electric eel of a striker" and social media didn't miss it.

One Twitter user said: "The BT Sport commentator just called Antoine Griezmann an 'electric eel' of a striker. He's just gone full Partridge, you never go full Partridge."

One viewer wrote: "Words I'd never thought I'd hear: 'He really is an electric eel of a striker.'"

Another social media post read: "He really is an electric eel of a striker!" I'm not entire convinced that an electric eel has the key qualities but whatever floats your boat, pal."

Another quipped: "'He really is an electric eel of a striker.' That's not a saying."

Griezmann's 28th and 29th goals of the season handed Atletico the Europa League trophy - their first silverware since winning La Liga in 2014.
