Manchester United striker Matheus Cunha's celebration after scoring the winning goal against Arsenal (3:2) may cost him dearly. Sport24.az reports that the Brazilian footballer could not control his emotions while celebrating his beautiful goal from outside the penalty area.
He approached the camera and uttered unethical expressions and swear words.
Because the footballer's voice was clearly heard on live broadcast, the commentator of the Sky Sports channel, which broadcast the match, had to immediately apologize to the viewers.
According to the regulations of the Football Association (FA), offensive and rude expressions, as well as such gestures, are grounds for a red card or a subsequent penalty. The Disciplinary Committee is expected to disqualify Cunha after reviewing the video footage.
It should be reminded that Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney was once penalized for 2 games for using inappropriate expressions towards the camera for a similar act. Now Cunha may face the same fate.
