Bizarre and controversial goal celebrations

Brazilian wonder kid Neymar has become the latest player to perform a bizarre goal celebration.
The Santos striker received a second yellow card after marking a goal by wearing a mask – of his own face.

Here, we take a look at some of the most bizarre and controversial goal celebrations.

Mirko VucinicThe Roma striker placed his shorts on his head to celebrate Montenegro's winning goal against Switzerland last year.

Nicolas Anelka, not one to shy away from controversy, caused a bit of a stir with his 'handcuffs' gesture after scoring for Chelsea against MSK Zilina in this season's Champions League. The striker was apparently sending a message to the French Football Federation, who banned him for 18 games because of his role in the World Cup mutiny.

Carlos TevezDuring the Carling Cup semi-final first-leg last season, Carlos Tevez silenced the Manchester United fans, and then set about infuriating them. To celebrate his second goal the little Argentinean cupped his ears in the direction of the fans. The celebration was a re-enactment of one he performed when a United player at Old Trafford, which was designed to ask those in charge why they wouldn't sign him on a full-time basis, something which still upsets the striker.

Wayne RooneyAnd to finish off, just last weekend England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney celebrated the completion of a hat-trick against West Ham by delivering an aggressive and foul-mouthed tirade down the Sky Sports cameras. He would receive a two-match ban for doing so...

NeymarThe 19-year-old scored a brilliant solo effort for Santos in a Copa Libertadores match against Colo Colo that finished 3-2. He jinked through the defence before chipping past the goalkeeper to put Santos 3-0 up. He then put on the mask, which was handed to him from the crowd, with the face upside-down. The referee showed Neymar his second yellow card.
