Manchester United striker Mateus Cunha's celebration after scoring the winning goal against Arsenal (3:2) may come at a high price. Sport24.az reports that the Brazilian footballer couldn't control his emotions while celebrating his beautiful goal from outside the penalty area.
He approached the camera and uttered unethical expressions and swear words.
Since the footballer's voice was clearly heard live, the commentator of the Sky Sports channel broadcasting the match had to immediately apologize to the viewers.
According to the regulations of the English Football Association (FA), offensive and rude expressions, as well as such gestures, are grounds for a red card or subsequent punishment. It is expected that the Disciplinary Committee will disqualify Kunya after reviewing the video footage.
It should be reminded that Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney was previously penalized for 2 matches for using inappropriate expressions towards the camera for a similar action. Kunya may now face the same fate.
