Shay Given was stone faced after Mo Salah’s goal, because he was eating his dinner

Shay Given only had eyes for his steak dinner when Mohamed Salah scored a wonder goal against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon

You do you, Shay

How did you react to Mo Salah’s wonder goal against Chelsea? We’ve all seen him cut inside from the right before, literally hundreds of times, but none of us expected that to fly in like a bullet into the toppest of bins, did we? I didn’t, which is why I leapt out my chair, utterly stunned by the quality of the goal. I’m not even a Liverpool fan.

But it seems not everyone was that impressed, Shay Given in particular. The former Newcastle and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper was watching from a TV studio, but only had eyes for his lunch, while pundits around him jumped to their feet in awe of the strike.

Look, we all love eating, but this goal surely deserved more of a response than a simple glance at the screen before looking back down at your lunch, apparently a steak.

But hey, you do you Shay. I hope the steak was delicious.
