WATCH: Jesse Lingard dances through Leicester defence and debuts dodgy new celebration

What a goal... what a weird way to celebrate it

Darragh Murphy

The Community Shield is the perfect warm-up for Premier League football.

It’s not a friendly but it’s also not overly competitive and it’s the ideal time for players to just express themselves without any real pressure.

And Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard did that before and after finding the net in the Sunday’s clash with league champions Leicester.

Lingard opened the scoring with a cracking solo effort when he evaded a series of Foxes tackles to saunter into the box and beat Kasper Schmeichel.

The only thing that was discussed more than the run itself was Lingard’s debut of his new celebration which certainly divided opinion among supporters.
