Man Utd toiled to beat CoventryAntony goaded the Championship sideMaupay hit out at the Brazilian for his anticsWHAT HAPPENED?

Coventry staged a remarkable comeback in the FA Cup semifinals as they came back from 3-0 down to force extra-time against United, leaving Erik ten Hag's side clinging to victory by the narrowest of margins following a dramatic penalty shoot-out. After Rasmus Hojlund converted the decisive penalty, Antony was seen cupping his ears towards the Coventry players – and the Brazilian's actions have been widely condemned.

Maupay, known for his provocative on-field behaviour, has earned a reputation for being a Premier League “sh*thouse” who usually thrives on riling up opposition players. The Brentford star, currently on loan from Everton, is infamous for imitating James Maddison's darts celebration and also got into a heated altercation with Manchester City's Kyle Walker after he allegedly commented on the defender's personal life. But even Maupay was stunned after watching Antony's antics and said on X: "Just for the record, not even I would do this 😭."

WHAT THE CLIPDID YOU KNOW?

Not only Maupay but several other pundits also hit out at Antony for his excessive celebrations after beating a Championship side on penalties. Former Coventry striker Clinton Morrison on BBC Radio 5 Live, said: “He needs to worry about his own job instead of Coventry because some of his performances this season show he could be playing in the Championship.”

Whereas, Gabriel Agbonlahor, wrote on X: "Antony cups his ears as he celebrates in front of Coventry players? Is this guy the most shameless flop ever to grace our beautiful league? Shame on you Antony, you wouldn't even start for Coventry you prat."
