Luiz cancelled out Rasmus Hojlund’s early opener in the second half at Villa Park, turning home Leon Bailey’s cross to make it 1-1. He immediately got down on one knee and shaked his shoulders like WWE legend Guerrero. He appeared to be taunting United goalkeeper Andre Onana, although his United team-mate Raphael Varane was also in front of Luiz – who had fans watching on at home cracked up on social media. “Douglas Luiz finding his inner Eddie Guerrero,” commented one, with another reacting: “Douglas Luiz done the Eddie Guerrero in front of the keeper.
Heβs mocking it.” A third wrote: “Nah Douglas Luiz celebration has me in tears. Did that man just do the shimmy shoulders.” And a fourth argued: “Douglas Luiz doing the Eddie Guererro in front of Onana is crazy.”
“Have you seen a better celebration this season? Is that a belly dancing chest shimmy!!!” While a sixth added: “Douglas Luiz celebrations in front of Onana has me in tears.” Unfortunately for Luiz and Villa, his celebration somewhat backfired when Scott McTominay rose highest to head home Diogo Dalot’s cross five minutes from time and restore United’s lead.
United, on the other hand, are now unbeaten in their last six – with five wins in that time.
