The story behind Elanga’s celebration

At 19 years and 302 days old, the young Swede came off the bench at the Wanda Metropolitano to net what could be a crucial equaliser in our Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid.

Upon seeing the ball trickle into the far corner of Jan Oblak’s net, Elanga had a cool look on his face as he wheeled away in celebration before sliding on his knees in front of the travelling Reds, who celebrated jubilantly in the tiers above.

Having got back to his feet, Anthony lived up to the origin of his popular new chant, based on a classic hit from the 1990s, with a dance move that we’ve seen from him before - and it's one that appears to be on something of an upward trend.
