Naby Keita’s brilliant assist vs Marseille for Leipzig – Video

Naby Keita

Naby Keita shone for Leizpig against Marseille after making an excellent run from midfield to assist Jean-Kevin Augustin with a clever pass.

The Guinean charged forward from the left-wing, evading four Marseille players before flicking a backheel into the path of Jean-Kevin Augustin to fire home.

Keita’s seventh assist of the season, however, was not enough as Marseille produced an exceptional display to win 5-2 on the night.

The midfielder suffered a difficult start to the season, but is proving the quality that prompted Liverpool to move swiftly last summer to secure a £55 million deal with Leipzig for a move on July 1.
