Jesse Lingard does *that* celebration, football fans say horrible things about him

When Jesse Lingard scores a goal, Jesse Lingard bloody well celebrates a goal.

That was again the case as he gave Manchester United the lead in their Carabao Cup game away to Swansea City on Tuesday night. The midfielder marked the goal by pretending to play a flute, just like he did after scoring a screamer against Middlesbrough last season. As was the case that day, his choice of celebration caused a fair amount of fuss from some of those watching the game on telly. To some, it was enough for Lingard to be fined by the club. https://twitter.com/brenhindle86/status/922916765230710785 Others, however, felt it more appropriate to wish a career-threatening injury on the player... https://twitter.com/_MattyEFC/status/922902210090070017 Or a move to Sunderland... https://twitter.com/Cam_Dooley/status/922913345333690368 Or suggest he deserved to be hit by a bus or an aeroplane... https://twitter.com/willl_power/status/922902805299548161 The celebration was also enough for some to claim he had yet to have sexual intercourse. https://twitter.com/biggunbrady/status/922902776019070976 And others to claim he was a small tailless amphibian. https://twitter.com/jamiewareham7/status/922902345452834821 It was enough to change dislike to sheer hatred for this supporter. https://twitter.com/archyb123/status/922902732901675008 And then, with the stench of boiled piss drifting from Twitter timelines up and down the country, Lingard scored a second and did it all over again.
