Suarez scored… and proceeded to dive right in front of Moyes to celebrate. In the build-up to the Merseyside derby in October 2012, Everton boss David Moyes heavily criticised Luis Suarez for what he said was a dive to get Jack Rodwell sent off the previous year.
Probably because you’re always doing mad stuff, Mario. Balotelli scored the opener in City’s 6-1 win at Old Trafford and lifted up his jersey to reveal a t-shirt asking ‘Why always me?'. Mario Balotelli’s bathroom was set alight after a firework was launched in his house in October 2011, two days before the Manchester derby. Balotelli’s ‘why always me?’ Mario Balotelli's 'why always me' celebration has gone down in Premier League folklore Brown said afterwards it was a “fantastic celebration”, although Bullard revealed years later his manager told him to “wind his neck in” in the dressing room afterwards. A year later when Jimmy Bullard scored to make it 1-1 against the same opposition, Hull’s players sat around Bullard while he pretended to give them a team talk. In 2008, Hull City manager Phil Brown made headlines when he gave his players a half-time team talk on the pitch as they trailed 4-0 to Manchester City. Maybe the most meticulously choreographed goal in our list. Bullard’s team talk Jimmy Bullard mimicked Phil Brown's half-time team talk when he scored against an City in 2009 Manager Gerard Houllier claimed it was a grass-eating celebration he had picked up from Rigobert Song but nobody was buying that one. He was fined two weeks’ wages by Liverpool and received a four-game ban from the FA. After scoring, he got down on all fours and sniffed the white line of the penalty area. Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler had been getting abuse from Everton fans - unfounded taunts of taking drugs - during the Merseyside derby in April 1999. One of the more controversial celebrations on this list. Funnily enough Di Canio joined West Ham three months later. Wright pretended to show Ruddock a red card and the defender shoved him over, with Wright even mimicking Alcock’s fall. It came two days after Sheffield Wednesday’s Paolo di Canio had been sent off for Sheffield Wednesday and shoved over referee Paul Alcock. Ian Wright and Neil Ruddock recreated an iconic Premier League moment when Wright headed home the only goal in West Ham’s win over Southampton in September 1998. Wright and Ruddock mimic Di Canio incident Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann came to England with a reputation for diving and marked a goal on his Tottenham debut - a 4-3 win over Sheffield Wednesday in August 1994 - with an exaggerated dive onto the ground as part of his celebration, as a self-deprecating - and successful - way of getting the fans on board. The topical celebrations Klinsmann’s dive Sturridge’s danceĭaniel Sturridge often marked his goals with a dance involving wriggling his arms. Running away with his right arm in the air.
The Shearer classic Alan Shearer's 'arm in the air' celebration was seen up and down the country He had 250 masks in Argentina but only brought one to England. Sadly for Fulham fans the Argentine only needed the mask six times in the Premier League in 20. Sava’s masks Fulham striker Facundo Sava would celebrate each goal by pulling out a black Zorro maskįulham striker Facundo Sava would celebrate each goal by pulling out a black Zorro mask from his shin pads and putting it on his face. DR Congo’s Lomano LuaLua would do as many as seven backflips after scoring for Newcastle or Portsmouth in the Premier League. Nowhere near as good as Robbie Keane at football - but a much, much better gymnast. LuaLua’s somersaults When it comes to acrobatic celebrations, few could match the efforts of former Portsmouth striker Lomano LuaLua Everyone seemed to celebrate that way - in professional matches and on schoolyards - afterwards, although Fifa making it a bookable offence reduced that fad. In August 1996, Fabrizio Ravanelli scored a hat-trick on his Premier League debut as Middlesbrough drew with Liverpool and lifted his shirt over his head. It’s no exaggeration to say this moment changed the way goals were celebrated in England for a while. Not Olympic standard gymnastics but comforting and familiar like a nice dollop of mashed potatoes. Nearly every Robbie Keane goal was met with the same celebration - a cartwheel, a forward roll and then pretending his fingers were guns.
