Liverpool fullback Kostas Tsimikas enjoyed taunting Chelsea fans after his FA Cup winning penalty kick yesterday.
The Greece international left-back held his nerve in the shootout after Mason Mount's miss to hand Jurgen Klopp's men a second domestic trophy after a win by the same method over the same opponents in the League Cup final back in February.
Sprinting off in ecstasy after netting into the bottom left corner and sending the keeper the wrong way, Tsimikas ran back towards his team-mates before turning round and cupping his ears to the blue half of the national stadium.
With his colleagues in tow, the 26-year-old arched his run back round to the Anfield faithful right past the gutted Edouard Mendy as the staff joined in with celebrations.
Tsimikas then told BBC of his winning effort: "It's very, very special for me.
"The manager asked me which number I want. I say number seven. He asks me why so far? I say I want number seven. And number seven gave me the opportunity to win the game."
