Marc Albrighton’s latest celebration has not gone down too well among Leicester City’s medical staff.
You can’t blame the winger for being a little overexcited during pre-season, having missed the last three months of the season through injury.
So when he grabbed a last minute winner against Cheltenham Town, he wanted to enjoy the moment.
But his enthusiastic knee slide earned him a telling off from the club’s physios afterwards.
“It’s always nice to score a goal. I don’t get too many so when I do, they feel good,” he told the club’s official website.
“Whether it is a pre-season friendly or a league game, I want to enjoy it.
“The finish took me into the knee slide and I don’t think the physios are too happy about that.
“I don’t think they like the knee slide celebration so they’ve had a word with me about that.
“It is all good fun though and it is a good exercise. It is good to get the minutes in and get a victory.”
Albrighton’s winner did ensure that the Foxes made it two wins from as many games to start pre-season.
