The Arsenal forward was trending on Twitter following his dramatic dive moments before a free-kick that had been awarded to France. He seemed to have been pushed a little bit by a defender from the opposition at the wall before the freekick but his reaction was quite hilarious and exaggerated.
As a result, football fans on Twitter who were not so amused by the incident started trolling the 29-year-old. We have compiled some of the best trolls that will for sure crack your ribs at the bottom of this article. Meanwhile, Antoine Griezmann's sensational performance for the hosts helped them secure a 2-1 win over Ireland after finding themselves trailing by a goal following a penalty awarded to Robbie Keane's men. Robert Brady stepped up and sent goalkeeper Hugo Lloris the wrong way to score in the secnd minute of the thrilling match. Then Antoine Griezmann's moment came in the 58th minute when he pumped in two goals in three minutes to fire the hosts to a dramatic victory, and bundle their opponents out of the competition.
