Matheus Cunha scored a sensational goal for Manchester United to put Michael Carrick’s men 3-2 up against Arsenal
Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha could face a possible ban for his reaction after putting his side 3-2 up against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Cunha came off the bench for United to put Michael Carrick’s ahead for the second time at the Emirates Stadium. After Mikel Merino made it 2-2, Cunha curled the ball into the bottom corner after a great piece of play from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo.
As he ran over to the travelling fans in the corner, Cunha grabbed the camera and shouted something down the lens. It’s not clear what the Brazilian says but it did include an explicit.
Sky Sports’ Peter Drury was forced to apologise for the X-rated outburst by Cunha. “If you heard some bad language in among the celebrations, for that we apologise,” he said.
Back in 2011, Wayne Rooney was hit with a two-match ban after he swore down the camera at West Ham United. The striker’s incident came during the 4-2 win at Upton Park and the Football Association handed him a hefty punishment.
As well as a two-game ban, Rooney was charged with “use of offensive, insulting and/or abusive language” after completing his hat-trick in front of the away end.
