Rasmus Hojlund unveiled a new celebration after scoring for Manchester United against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
The 21-year-old Danish forward scored twice, leading the Red Devils to an impressive 3-2 comeback victory after trailing 2-1.
His first goal, a stunning effort curled into the bottom corner just before halftime, sparked an eye-catching celebration.
Hojlund ran to the fans, gave a thumbs-up gesture, then flipped it to a thumbs-down, and ended with a dramatic throat-slitting motion.
Fans of the new Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator II might have recognized the sequence—it mirrors the gestures performed by Emperor Geta, played by Joseph Quinn, when deciding a combatant’s fate in the colosseum.
