LONDON — Adam Thielen took in a soccer match Saturday night, and took some inspiration away from the experience.
Thielen caught his first touchdown pass of the season Sunday, and then sent the crowd at Twickenham Stadium into a frenzy by running and sliding across the pitch, a well-known soccer goal celebration.
“I went to the Arsenal game yesterday, and my wife played soccer in college, so she’s proud of me for supporting soccer,” said Thielen, who took in an English Premier League match featuring Arsenal and Swansea City in London. “I’ve kind of played FIFA growing up … I took some inspiration from that.
