Manchester United forward 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 "Sky Sports", which broadcast 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 considered grounds for a red card or a subsequent penalty. It is expected that the Disciplinary Committee will disqualify Kunya after reviewing the video footage.
It is worth recalling that Wayne Rooney, the legend of Manchester United, was punished with a 2-match ban for a similar action, for using inappropriate expressions towards the camera. Now Kunya may face the same fate.
