Manchester United winger, Alejandro Garnacho, appeared to take a leaf from the celebration book of Mohammed Kudus after scoring against Chelsea.
In a thrilling Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, the 19-year-old was United's brightest spot as the Red Devils threw away a 3-2 lead, succumbing to a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat.
Garnacho, enjoying a stellar season, began United's comeback by narrowing the deficit in the 34th minute after Chelsea had surged to a two-nil lead within the first 20 minutes.
Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer had given the home side an early advantage. However, Garnacho capitalised on a defensive lapse from the Blues to bring United back into the game.

This goal marked a significant milestone for the teenager. According to Statman Dave, he was involved in 10 Premier League goals for the first time in his career.
