Wayne Rooney comments on Ekitique's "foolish" move

Former legendary Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney commented on the suspension of Hugo Ekitique, who plays for Liverpool, in the match against Southampton.

As a reminder, the French forward received the first yellow card in the 53rd minute. However, in the 85th minute, he celebrated the winning goal by removing his jersey, receiving a second yellow card and being sent off.

Reacting to this situation, Rooney said:

"After the goal, he couldn't control his emotions. Perhaps he himself regretted this action. But it's hard to justify it; it was certainly a foolish decision.

In recent years, any goal is checked via VAR and then celebrated. But seeing such natural emotions on the field again was a joy for the fans," said Rooney.
