5 Times Goal Celebrations Led To Red Cards

5.Edinson Cavani



Cavani used to celebrate his goals as a sniper, but one day a referee who was anti-guns gave him a yellow card and a red card 10 seconds later because the Uruguayan international had touched him.

4.Lukasz Sapela





The goalkeeper saved a penalty and celebrated by showing – off his biceps. Result? A red card!
3.Medi Dresevic







Swedish centre-back found his goal so beautiful that he wanted to congratulate himself. He ran into the stands, sat on a seat and applauded his own effort. Problem: the referee didn’t like it.
2.Carlos Tevez






While celebrating his goal against River Plate, Carlos Tevez emulated a chicken, and this celebration earned him a second yellow card.

Reason: Boca refer to River as the Gallinas (Chickens) so this celebration was considered as a ‘provocation.’
1.Neymar Jr.






Neymar Jr. was probably the most famous player in South America back in 2011 and always wanted to act like a Super Star.

He once, celebrated his goal by wearing a mask of himself. The referee didn’t like it and red carded him.
