CELEBRATION 

Netherlands star Memphis Depay copies NFL craze and does wide receiver Antonio Brown’s ‘Put That S*** On’ dance after goal against USA in World Cup last-16 victory


Memphis Depay sent social media into meltdown with his celebration after firing the Netherlands into the lead against USA in their 3-1 victory.

The Barcelona striker, who has struggled for form this season, broke the deadlock in the tenth minute in the World Cup last-16 clash.

Former Manchester United forward Depay was picked out by Denzel Dumfries unmarked just inside the box.

And the 28-year-old curled the ball beautifully home into the far corner with a first-time finish beyond the outstretched arms of Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner.

He then appeared to pull out the ‘Put That S*** On’ dance – made famous by NFL icon Antonio Brown.

Wide receiver Brown, who is a free agent after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January, showcased his new move in the summer.

Since then, a number of active players including Charles Pickens and Travis Kelce have decided to re-enact the dance which has become a craze in the NFL.

And now Depay has joined in on the act on the finger-pointing dance, with social media left stunned.

Not only because Brown, 34, has an arrest warrant on him in Tampa due to a domestic battery incident involving a woman.

Commenting on Depay, one Twitter user said: “Memphis Depay hitting the Antonio Brown celebration is WILD PROBLEMATIC.”

Another posted: “Memphis Depay did the Antonio Brown put that shit on celebration on USA absolute s***housery.”

A third added: “Not Depay doing the Antonio Brown dance.”

This supporter then said: “Wonderful that Depay did Antonio Brown’s little step in the World Cup.”

Meanwhile another simply stated: “High level trolling.”

talkSPORT’s Dean Ashton instead praised Depay for his great strike.

Speaking on commentary, he remarked: “He steps one step inside the 18-yard box and he whips it across Turner into the far corner.

“That was just a very, very good counter attack.”

Before adding: “That wasn’t the finish of someone lacking any confidence.”

Depay has been limited to just two LaLiga appearances this season having suffered from thigh problems.

Daley Blind added a second goal just before half-time, before Haki Wright halved the deficit in the 76th minute.

But Denzel Dumfries secured passage into the quarter-final after volleyine hiome in the 81st minute.

Erik ten Hag admits he's taking 'risk' with Casemiro

Image
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has admitted that while he is taking a 'risk' with the fitness of Casemiro, the same sentiment can be applied to the rest of his squad. The Brazilian has already racked up 2,051 minutes for the Red Devils this season either side of a gruelling World Cup campaign with Brazil. Casemiro has completed the full 90 minutes in 11 of United's last 13 Premier League matches and his only absence since joining the club came when he was suspended for their recent trip to Arsenal. Ten Hag, who  revealed  he is relishing a busy fixture schedule, said he is indeed taking a 'risk' with Casemiro's fitness but that is no different to his other key players. "[Casemiro] is important but in top football there's a risk and we know that," Ten Hag said. "We know players get injured and you can't avoid it. Of course, if you want to be successful in the season you need your key players on board and that's definitely the tr...

FREEBIES   Marcus Rashford, Wilfried Zaha, Youri Tielemans, N’Golo Kante and Leandro Trossard – ten top Premier League players who can agree free transfers in January Premier League clubs are in danger of losing key stars on free transfers with players able to sign pre-agreements with foreign clubs in January. Those in the last year of their contracts are able to negotiate a summer move with teams from outside England in the New Year. And there are a number of high-profile players that could decide to depart the English top-flight for a new venture abroad. Should their club not have the option to extend their stay for a further year, they would be powerless to stop them from entering talks with other clubs. This could see a number reluctantly accept cut-price fees in the winter transfer market. Players can also wait until their contracts expire before entering talks to sign for another Premier League next summer. But as things stand, players who are contracted until 2023 can enter ...
