Pass to Sturridge was my BEST ever assist claims Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho
PHILIPPE COUTINHO has ranked his assist for Daniel Sturridge during Liverpool's win over Borussia Dortmund his best ever even though it was only a friendly.
The Reds laid down a marker ahead of the new season with a crushing 4-0 win over their heralded German opponents.
Coutinho flicked a beautiful ball around the corner into Sturridge's path and he opened the scoring.
And though Coutinho has rated it highly, he struck a modest tone too.
"It may just have been my best assist," the playmaker said.
