Former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has been mocked in the Korean league, with an opponent copying his celebration after scoring a late winner.

Lingard found the net as he equalised for FC Seoul against Daejeon Hana on Saturday.

The 31-year-old is known for celebrating goals with dance moves and he did so again on this occasion after making it 2-2.


However, Daejeon scored what proved to be the winner in the 83rd minute, with Kim Hyeon-ug on target. 

Kim then proceeded to mimic Lingard's celebration, to the delight of the Daejeon players.
